Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Taylor's right-handed Next Generation K24ce is a Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric built entirely with figured Hawaiian koa for the top, back and sides. The scalloped V-Class bracing with relief rout is designed to support sustain, projection, pitch accuracy and note separation. Onstage, the Claria undersaddle pickup and discreet soundhole volume and mid-contour controls provide amplified adjustment without changing the guitar's outward profile. Its long-tenon Action Control Neck permits string-height adjustment without removing strings or detaching the neck, and a Taylor deluxe hardshell case is included.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Stage performances needing onboard volume and mid-contour adjustment from soundhole-mounted controls.
- Detailed chord work and melodic lines where the bracing is designed for separation and harmonic richness.
- Long-term ownership of an all-koa Grand Auditorium guitar whose tonal character is described as growing warmer over time.
