Description
Fans of Hawaiian Koa will love the look, feel & sound of this all-Koa Grand Auditorium. A shaded edgeburst elevates the vintage appeal of the solid Koa top, which is paired with layered Koa back & sides, while a gloss finish wraps the body in a rich sheen. The Grand Auditorium's musical versatility makes this a great all-purpose guitar for both strumming or fingerpicking & the hardwood Koa top will even out a lively attack to produce a focused, linear voice. Player-friendly modern features include a cutaway & Taylor's ES2 acoustic electronics. Among the distinctive appointments are a single-ring faux pearl rosette in an interlocking "fishbone" pattern, black binding, Italian acrylic small diamond inlays & gold tuners. The guitar ships in a Taylor deluxe hardshell case with a pro set up.
