Plus, Taylor’s ES2 electronics provide ample tonal control and responsiveness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKoa Series—All-Koa\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith Hawaiian koa’s distinctive combination of lush acoustic tone and stunning visual characteristics, Taylor’s Koa series showcases the tonewood’s natural coloration and its dazzling sonic properties.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGuitar players who pick up one of Taylor’s all-koa models will hear its vibrant midrange response with clear, articulate trebles and a dash of low-end warmth—as well as some natural compression to balance an aggressive attack—for a balanced sound that can be adapted across a range of playing styles. Known for its aging properties, the Hawaiian koa top, back, and sides of these guitars will open up over time and play with greater depth and sweetness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrand Auditorium Cutaway\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe brand’s flagship body shape, the Taylor Grand Auditorium’s medium size offers balanced highs and supportive lows, making it a versatile choice that’s fit for nearly any playing style. Boasting bold, balanced tone, the Taylor Grand Auditorium provides vibrant, well-defined sound across the entire tonal spectrum, thanks to a more tapered waist than a traditional dreadnought, making the Taylor Grand Auditorium the Swiss Army Knife of Taylor’s body shapes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQ: Does a cutaway diminish a guitar’s tonal output? \u003cbr\u003eA: \u003c\/b\u003eNot in a discernible way. We recommend you decide based on whether you want that extra upper-fretboard range; or, if you simply have an aesthetic preference—either for a more traditional, symmetrical look of a non-cutaway, or in favor of the sleek, more modern contouring that the cutaway offers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eV-Class Bracing\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Taylor Grand Auditorium features Taylor’s innovative new V-Class bracing, which lets the soundboard of the guitar vibrate naturally, increasing sustain and overall cohesiveness, and generating additional volume without sacrificing sustain. This design puts the body more in tune with the strings, improving articulation and harmonic alignment,  resulting in a sound that is optimally warm and seasoned, nicely blended, and full of luscious low end without being muddy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eES2 Electronics\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Taylor Expression System 2 (ES2) delivers the latest technology in Taylor acoustic guitar amplification. The heart of the ES2 system is Taylor’s patented behind-the-saddle pickup, featuring three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors. The new positioning enables the piezo pickup’s crystals to respond more naturally to the guitar’s energy as it is transferred through the saddle, with three pickup sensors installed behind the saddle, through the bridge, with three tiny Allen screws that calibrate the position of the sensors in relation to the saddle. Together with Taylor’s custom-designed preamp, this ES2 system produces exceptional amplified tone and responsiveness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSerial #:\u003c\/b\u003e 1207012186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight: \u003c\/b\u003e4lbs 11oz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/b\u003e 25-1\/2\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut \u0026amp; Saddle: \u003c\/b\u003eBlack Graphite, Micarta saddle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBracing:\u003c\/b\u003e V-Class\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTruss Rod Cover:\u003c\/b\u003e West African Crelicam Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber of Frets: \u003c\/b\u003e20\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTuners: \u003c\/b\u003eTaylor Gold\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase:\u003c\/b\u003e Taylor Deluxe Hardshell Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Length:\u003c\/b\u003e 20\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 16\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Depth:\u003c\/b\u003e 4 5\/8\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding\/Edge Treatment:\u003c\/b\u003e Pale Non-Figured Maple\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTop Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Gloss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBack Config: \u003c\/b\u003e2 or 3 piece No Wedge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRosette Size:\u003c\/b\u003e Single Ring\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBack\/Side Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Gloss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRosette Mat.:\u003c\/b\u003e Big Leaf Maple\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eStain\/Sunburst:\u003c\/b\u003e Shaded Edgeburst\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 1-3\/4\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFretboard Inlay: \u003c\/b\u003eSpring Vine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFretboard Binding\/Edge Treatment:\u003c\/b\u003e West African Crelicam Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeel Cap Binding:\u003c\/b\u003e West African Crelicam Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eType of Neck Joint:\u003c\/b\u003e Taylor Neck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck\/Heel:\u003c\/b\u003e Tropical Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFretboard Wood:\u003c\/b\u003e West African Crelicam Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Satin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeel Length:\u003c\/b\u003e 3-1\/2\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Finish: \u003c\/b\u003eGloss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Binding:\u003c\/b\u003e West African Crelicam Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Type: \u003c\/b\u003eStandard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Purfling:\u003c\/b\u003e Maple\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeadstock Overlay:\u003c\/b\u003e West African Crelicam Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Inlay: \u003c\/b\u003eSpring Vine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Logo:\u003c\/b\u003e Big Leaf Maple\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Pins:\u003c\/b\u003e West African Crelicam Ebony","brand":"Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40014031192199,"sku":"AK03002111000180048-1207012186","price":8596.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/products\/taylor-acoustic-guitars-om-and-auditorium-taylor-k24ce-grand-auditorium-shaded-edgeburst-es2-ak03002111000180048-1207012186-29452362154119.jpg?v=1659549192","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.com\/en-ca\/products\/taylor-k24ce-grand-auditorium-shaded-edgeburst-es2-1318205","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
