Taylor GT K21e Grand Theater Hawaiian Koa Shaded Edgeburst ES2
The Taylor GT K21e Grand Theater Hawaiian koa ES2 models offer Taylor’s “Jumbo” body shape scaled down to uniquely compact proportions, producing clear, articulate trebles and a dash of low-end warmth for a balanced sound that can be adapted across a range of playing styles. Plus, Taylor’s ES2 electronics provide ample tonal control and responsiveness.
Koa Series—All-Koa
With 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.
Guitar 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.
Grand Theater
Sporting the curves of the Grand Orchestra (Taylor’s “Jumbo” body style) scaled into uniquely compact proportions—including a shorter, 24 1/8-inch scale length for a slinky and responsive handfeel—Taylor’s Grand Theater (GT) body shape employs C-Class bracing to pack the tonal depth of a full-size guitar into a form that’s easy to play. With dimensions that fall between the travel-friendly GS Mini and Grand Concert body shapes, the GT represents Taylor’s reimagination of the parlor-style guitar for the present day.
ES2 Electronics
The 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.
