TaylorK24ce Builder's Edition Grand Auditorium Kona Burst ES2

Mine is the best sounding acoustic I own. I have other high end Taylors and this one is the best by far. Also own D42, 000-28m, J45, J200 deluxe as well as many mid tier priced guitars. This is the most versatile and playable guitar in studio. she looks pretty awesome too. Mine has flamed Koa top with horizontal 3d flame. If I could buy any acoustic guitar in production I would order another one of these.

Ive been waiting for this to come out and was ready to buy.I finally got a chance to buy/play one and its a very nice guitar playing wise but its ugly and dark.Koa should be featured not painted black. Terrible. The finish is ok but they might have just as well used pine.The STANDARD K24ce IS SO MUCH PRETTIER one would have to wonder what they are thinking.If you buy, make sure of the return policy because in my humble opinion they missed the mark big time on attractiveness.Come on Taylor, do better!As an update I had my dealer call and ask if they would just not paint over the Koa on one and ship it to me but even though they make them in the USA they said no. Gee
