Taylor's Builder's Edition K24ce showcases impressive craftsmanship, characterful sounds and a stunning visual appearance.
Grand Auditorium Body & V-Class Bracing
Featuring a body constructed entirely of Hawaiian koa wood, the Grand Auditorium offers not only a stunning visual appearance, but also an initially defined sound with clearly defined trebles that develops its characteristic midrange warmth with pronounced overtones over time. In addition, the innovative V-Class Bracing provides long-lasting sustain and additional volume compared to conventional bracing designs.
Compound Carve Mahogany Neck
Of course, the mahogany neck of the Taylor Builder's Edition K24ce in the pleasantly playable compound carve profile features a 20-fret fretboard made of in-house and sustainably planted African ebony, whose highest registers are easily accessible thanks to the double-contoured Cutaway. The bridge of the Builder's Edition K24ce is also made of selected ebony and features a compensated Micarta bridge inlay, which ensures clean and precise intonation of all six strings as well as direct resonance transmission into the body.
Taylor Expression System 2
If you want to enjoy the sound of the Builder's Edition K24ce for high-quality recordings or amplified on stage, you can use the integrated TaylorExpression System 2. The system, which consists of three individual pickups mounted behind the saddle, picks up the horizontal and vertical vibration of the saddle during play, unlike conventional piezo systems, resulting in a lively and dynamic sound image. All sensors have small adjustment screws to set their position in relation to the bridge insert, allowing the sound of the Builder's Edition K24ce to be meticulously adjusted.
Taylor - The epitome of fine quality
As one of the largest guitar manufacturers, Taylor is truly an authority in the production of first-class instruments. Thus, professional manufacturing by skilled craftsmen results in the very finest products for life, whose value is always maintained - or even increased! This is due in equal part to exquisite tonewoods, which do not warp due to long storage and selected quality and as a result can hardly be surpassed in terms of high quality. Only spruce, mahogany, cedar or Koa of proven quality are used for the tops. By the way, careful production in combination with the best materials does not only apply to guitars. Guitar bags and all accessoriesare also of first-class quality. Finally, a conscientious final inspection does not let even the smallest defects pass and ensures absolutely flawless guitars even before shipment.
And that's not all: Taylor also attaches great importance to environmentally conscious actions.
Ebony & Koa: Sustainability at Taylor Guitars
Uncontrolled clearing of forests and overexploitation lead to massively endangered wood species, which can no longer regenerate due to the high pace of mining. These include ebony and koa in particular, whose dwindling stocks and the resulting ecological problems have prompted a rethink at Taylor Guitars.
Sustainable ebony cultivation in Cameroon
Because ebony 's hard, supple texture makes it particularly finger-friendly, it has long been the preferred choice for making fingerboards. Its attractive appearance is also extremely popular for bridges, headstock rests, bridge Pins and Bindings. However, high demand and a thriving black market outstripped stocks, landing Ebony on the Red List of Endangered Species in 1994. Moreover, only the jet-black heartwood, which makes up only a fraction of the tree, was used, resulting in a disproportionately large amount of waste in production. In order to protect the forests, Taylor has therefore been working since 2011 with the Crelicam Wood Mill in Yaoundé in Cameroon to promote controlled consumption by processing waste products. Thus, not only black ebony elements are found in Taylor guitars, but also the different colored, more clearly grained parts of the tree. This complete recycling is an effective method of preserving stocks and successfully counteracts their dramatic dwindling and the accompanying negative ecological effects.
"We need to use the ebony that the forest gives us" - Bob Taylor

Siglo Tonewoods Project
Koa acacia populations have also suffered severe losses over the last 20 years. Unsustainable forestry as well as overexploitation led to a decline that can only be stopped by proactive action and reforestation. Therefore, Taylor Guitars together with Pacific Rim Tonewoods founded the Siglo Tonewoods project, which aims to rebuild the Hawaiian virgin forest. This is a large cultivation area for koa acacia and other species, which allows the use of koa wood on a controlled scale.
