Taylor Next Generation K22ce 12-Fret Grand Concert Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Hawaiian Koa

A star on any stage for their "next-gen" line, the Taylor Next Generation K22ce 12-Fret Grand Concert is a vividly dazzling model. Taking a turn from usual Taylor tradition, this 12-Fret Next Generation acoustic comes together with ornate Hawaiian koa tonewoods and upgraded specifications for a thoroughly impressive Taylor inside and out.

In the Next Generation series, Taylor Guitars refreshes some of its classic models with high-quality upgrades. This koa 12-Fret takes a new route for a smaller-bodied, performance-ready acoustic to impress on every level. The model starts with a cutaway Grand Concert body brought together completely with Hawaiian koa. Breathing throughout with bright shimmering tone, this Next Generation entry is thoroughly musical for strumming or fingerstyle playing modes. Within this cutaway, Grand Concert body, one of the Next Generation series' main upgrades shows itself: Taylor's scalloped V-Class bracing. Enhanced projection and sustain up the ante on this Next Generation model fully.

From here, a mahogany neck extends out from the Concert body. Another standout Next Generation series feature, the neck's Action Control function allows for micro-adjustments in playability and string action to be made easier than ever by players. Taylor's Next Generation guitars put power in the hands of their players to be played as they see fit. A West African Crelicam ebony fingerboard lines up with this neck punctuated with comfortable Taylor frets and knockout Mother of Pearl inlays.

Solidifying this entire experience, Taylor's Next Generation K22ce 12-Fret features a number of sturdy hardware specifications. An ebony bridge lands with a micarta saddle while Taylor slot-head nickel tuning machines land at the model's slotted headstock. A TUSQ nut stabilizes intonation across the full 24.875" scale length. This model's vividly musical tones are brought to the stage with Taylor's Claria electronics system – a system specifically designed for the best live room performance possible. The Taylor Next Generation K22ce 12-Fret Grand Concert travels with an included Taylor Deluxe hardshell case.

Breaking the mold in the Next Generation series, this Taylor 12-Fret is a fresh breath of tropical breeze.
