Overview:

Decades of crafting Hawaiian koa guitars has only deepened our reverence for the treasured tonewood. The 50th Anniversary 924ce-K LTD is a showcase for our admiration of koa’s visual beauty and sonic charm. Its top, back and sides are crafted with gorgeously figured solid AA-grade koa. This versatile, gloss-finished cutaway Grand Auditorium delivers koa’s signature midrange and bright highs. As it’s played over time, players are rewarded with a richer, sweeter, more resonant tone. A slim, hand-friendly Taylor neck and radiused ebony armrest ensure a smooth, comfortable playing experience. V-Class interior voicing architecture levels up volume and sustain while keeping notes more in tune with each other along the entire neck. Graceful Ascension inlays in abalone and mother-of-pearl complement a paua rosette and edge trim. Exquisite Gotoh luxury gold tuners, gold-dotted ebony bridge pins and a special commemorative interior label round out the suite of 50th Anniversary appointments. This limited-edition model features ES2 electronics and ships in a Deluxe Hardshell Case. 

In the U.S., the 50th Anniversary 924ce-K LTD is bundled with a limited-edition Circa 74 koa acoustic/vocal amp featuring a matching koa cabinet and modern-retro fabric grill cloth. Designed by Bob Taylor and his hand-picked team of tone aficionados, this Circa 74 amp complements the guitar’s visual and sonic attributes beautifully. It offers 150 watts of rich, warm sound through a 10-inch full-range speaker, 3-band EQ, Bluetooth connectivity, reverb, and compatibility with all major acoustic guitar pickups and vocal mics. The amp also includes an elegant koa stand.
