Overview

A better grade of koa for a better tonal experience.

The K28e-AA-HPP5 boasts the bold yet balanced voice of its Grand Orchestra body shape, flavored with koa’s unique tone profile: a blend of strong fundamental notes and top-end sparkle. The highly figured AA koa with its Adirondack Performance bracing will impart a more controlled attack compared to the more common spruce tops and traditional bracing, so the notes will roll in more softly and then linger, producing extended sustain. With additional time and playing, the guitar will continue to open up to become warmer, sweeter and more responsive. The beautiful wood-rich appointment motif features Taylor's fluid Island Vine inlay, Indian rosewood binding, maple top trim, and a rosewood/maple rosette. Other appointments include an ebony bridge, Gotoh gold tuners, and a beautiful shaded edgeburst that give it an even more intriguing look. The guitar also comes equipped with Taylor’s Expression System 2 acoustic electronics for pro-level amplified tone.
