Koa is denser and less immediately resonant than spruce, and C-Class bracing is built to compensate, pushing projection and midrange forward instead of letting an all-koa build sound closed-in out of the case.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA solid koa top opens up the more it gets played, moving from a tighter, more compressed voice when new toward a warmer, more complex midrange over time — a known trait of koa that spruce-topped guitars don't share. Fingerpickers get a woody, almost mahogany-like punch with added top-end sparkle, and strummers get a focused midrange that cuts through a mix without the scooped low end a rosewood body would add. It rewards players who dig in rather than play quietly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAppointments include a West African ebony fingerboard and bridge, black ABS bridge pins, and a satin-finished mahogany neck with Taylor's Standard Carve profile at a 1-11\/16\" nut, under a gloss Shaded Edgeburst finish with gold tuners and a black pickguard. Onboard Expression System 2 electronics carry that koa voice to a PA without adding an artificial top-end edge, and the guitar ships in a Brown Taylor Deluxe Hard Shell Case. Every 224ce-K DLX ships under our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/dread-not-guarantee\"\u003eDread-Not Guarantee\u003c\/a\u003e — a 30-day in-home trial and a full year to trade it in for 90% credit toward anything else in the store, backed by a free humidity monitoring kit. For a player who wants an all-koa Grand Auditorium that keeps improving the more it's played, this is a guitar built for someone in it for the long haul.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhotos shown are manufacturer stock images — this unit's own in-house photos will replace them once photography is complete.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Acoustic Shoppe is an Authorized Taylor Premier Dealer and Gold Label Advantage Dealer.
