Overview

All-koa acoustic-electric with Taylor’s ES2 electronics and V-Class bracing for sweet tone and stunning looks.

The Taylor K22e 12-Fret Grand Concert acoustic-electric guitar is visually and sonically stunning. It combines Taylor’s V-Class bracing with figured Hawaiian koa and Expression System 2 electronics. Koa is a dense tropical hardwood with a strong midrange focus similar to mahogany, with a bit of extra top-end brightness and chime. Additional details include a lustrous gloss finish on the body, "Spring Vine" maple inlay on the fretboard and peghead, and big leaf maple binding on the body, rosette, and logo. A Taylor deluxe hardshell case is included for optimal fit and protection.

Koa Top, Back and Sides
The more koa is played and has a chance to open—especially when the back and sides are also solid koa—it promises to grow warmer and sweeter, especially in the midrange.

Expression System 2 Electronics
At the heart of the ES2 electronics is Taylor’s patented behind-the-saddle pickup, which features three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors. Because the pickup doesn't sit under the saddle, the bottom of the saddle comes in full contact with the bridge, allowing all the nuance of the guitar's tone to come through clearly whether playing acoustically or plugged-in. Together with Taylor’s custom-designed “professional audio”-grade preamp, this system produces exceptional amplified tone and responsiveness. The Taylor Expression System 2 operates through a proprietary 9-volt battery compartment and easy-to-use volume, and active bass and treble controls.

Grand Concert Body Shape
Taylor's Grand Concert body shape yields controlled overtones, allowing the guitar to be heard more clearly. Taylor's 12-fret designs are appealing to many players who enjoy the guitar's compact playing framework, blending the lap-friendly Grand Concert body with the slightly condensed fret spacing of the 24.875" scale-length and the shorter 12-fret neck orientation. This combination creates a slinky "handfeel" and easier fretting. Factor in the surprising tonal power and midrange warmth and vibrancy for a smaller body, thanks to the bridge's position near the center of the lower bout. The design is physically efficient, so it has strong projection; despite its smaller size it sounds like a huge instrument.

Taylor’s V-Class Bracing
Taylor’s V-Class bracing is a fundamental innovation in acoustic guitar design. It is essentially an "engine" that optimizes the response of an acoustic guitar in three key ways: by boosting volume, sustain, and by largely resolving the intonation issues that have long plagued acoustic guitars. V-Class bracing creates purer, more orderly notes that don't cancel each other out or sound "off." They have clearer, more consistent response, and the whole fretboard is brought into greater sonic alignment for a more musical playing/listening experience. Guitars with V-Class bracing are easier to tune; the pitch sounds purer and more solid, and electronic tuners can more easily locate notes for quick, precise tuning.
