Overview
K24ce
Guitarists love Hawaiian koa for its blend of warmth, clarity and beautiful aesthetics. The K24ce, available through our online guitar store, showcases the tonal richness and visual character of koa in a Grand Auditorium body that's both accommodating and musically versatile. Back, sides and top of solid koa deliver a punchy voice with a strong midrange response with clear trebles and a touch of extra presence in the low range, and V-Class bracing dials up more volume and longer sustain. Koa is also known for its aging properties, and players will notice more sweetness and depth as the wood opens up with time and play. With stunning wood-forward appointments that reflect koa's island heritage, the K24ce is a stage-ready option that will keep you musically inspired for years to come.
“It is reassuring to note that a human armed with a chisel and old-fashioned ingenuity is capable of making waves—waves of both surf and sound, perhaps the biggest revolution in acoustic guitar architecture since the dawn of X-Bracing.”
Features
Grand Auditorium
Our flagship shape offers comfort and cross-genre utility, with a clear, balanced tone suited for both fingerstyle and strumming.
Hawaiian Koa
Vibrant midrange voice with a dash of sparkle in the top end. Beautiful grain and coloration. Grows sweeter and warmer with time and play.
The Taylor Neck
Introduced in 1999, the patented Taylor Neck offers legendary playing comfort, exceptional intonation and easy adjustability.
Hawaiian Koa
As a hardwood, koa produces a focused midrange and features a natural built-in compression that levels out the response. Warmth and overtones emerge over time and play.
Expression System® 2
The Expression System® 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.
Venetian Cutaway
The Venetian cutaway is known for its soft, round lines. The sloping peak of the cutaway will vary depending on the shape of the body.
V-Class Bracing
Our patented V-Class bracing is a revolutionary new pattern — a new sonic engine — that marks a major shift away from traditional steel-string bracing patterns.

Questions & Answers
Preguntas frecuentes
12 questions
Why do you shade the beautiful grain and color of new k24ce with a sunburst finish?
The edgeburst is selected by our designers to complement the guitar’s overall aesthetic, adding visual depth and warmth. By shading the perimeter of the soundboard, we create a gentle contrast that draws the eye toward the center, allowing the rich grain in that area to really “pop.” It’s an intentional style choice for players who enjoy a touch of visual drama while still showcasing the koa’s natural beauty.
Of course, we also offer the K24ce in a natural finish for those who prefer the uninterrupted look of the wood’s inherent color and figure.

What hard case fits perfectly?
Taylor Grand Auditorium Deluxe Brown Hardshell Case
just purchased this guitar 3/31/2023. Would like to get an additional set of strings. I like the sound of the native strings. Can anyone tell me what strings Taylor uses for this guitar?
We're using D'Addario XS phosphor bronze, Light gauge 12-53.
Please compare the K24CE vs the 612CE on tone, volume and ease of play (I’m old!) I currently have a 2017 K24CE that lacks volume relative to my other guitars. Can you assist?
Set up specs are the same so they'll all play equally great! Tonally, the biggest difference is going from a hardwood Koa top to a spruce top on the 612ce which gives you a greater frequency response without compression but there's more to consider. You're welcome to call the factory to speak with a factory consultant to guide to to the model that'll suit you best. 1-800-943-6782
K24ce 12-string?
No
Can I get this guitar with a Florentine cutaway?
Yes, a Florentine cutaway is an available option for an additional charge, with the exception of the Builder's Edition models, in which a Florentine cutaway is not an option.
I love the look of natural koa. Can I order this guitar with no edge burst, in other words, a totally natural finish?
The K24ce can be ordered with a natural finish, but this is not an option for the Builder's Edition K24ce and K14ce.
Is this guitar available with a narrower nut?
Yes, a 1-11/16" nut width is an option for this guitar with an additional charge.

5 years, thousands of hours, still my #1
I played a Larrivee D-03 for my first 15 years. It served me well but I had always loved Taylors when I went into the music stores. I thought of buying a dream guitar for almost a decade and played many many guitars in that time. This is the one that got me to hand over the money though. The best endorsement I can give for this guitar is that I have not thought of replacing it since I bought it 5 years ago because I have not found anything that plays better for me. I'm in need of a re-fret I've played it so much. Absolutely magnificent guitar.

Mellow tone from my Taylor K24
This is by far and away one of the best guitars I have ever owned. It has a rich, soft but well defined voice. Sounds great acoustically and is just as awesome when amplified. Very comfortable neck, visually attractive but, it is the large vibrant but mellow voice that drew my attention when I first played it. Frankly, it is a keeper!

This guitar is stunning.
This is an absolute work of art. Every detail of this guitar is perfect. Like most KOA the sound is sparkly and bright. This is one of the most beautiful guitars in the Taylor line.

My awesome Koa K24
I love my K24 builder's edition. The sound is brighter than my 914. The builder's edition slant elbow rest is perfect for live gigs. Much more comfortable to play on stage.

K24ce
Beautiful tone and depth.
Stunning to look at.
Workmanship first class
Had the action lowered slightly at Guitar Guitar where I bought if from, plays really well.
It has the V class bracing , it shows on the intonation and sustain.
