About Taylor Koa Guitars

Koa sits tonally between rosewood and mahogany: bright and articulate when brand new, then warmer and sweeter as the top opens up with playing. Taylor works with sustainably harvested Hawaiian koa across three tiers. The K Series (K14ce, K24ce, K26ce) is solid koa back, sides, and top with top-shelf appointments, including Builder's Edition versions with chamfered edges and beveled armrests. The 200 Series Deluxe koa models (214ce-K, 222ce-K, 224ce-K DLX) pair layered koa back and sides with a solid top for the koa look and a friendlier price. The GS Mini-e Koa brings it to the travel-size body.

Koa models arrive in small batches and sell quickly, so this wall rotates. If the exact model you are after is not on the page, call us: we usually know what is inbound before it lands.

Frequently asked questions

What does koa sound like compared to spruce or mahogany?

New koa is bright and focused, closer to maple, then warms toward a sweet mahogany-like midrange as it is played in. All-koa guitars like the K Series reward players who put in hours; the change over the first year is real and audible.

What is the difference between the K Series and the 214ce-K or 224ce-K?

The K Series (K14ce, K24ce, K26ce) uses solid koa throughout with premium appointments. The 200 Series Deluxe koa models use layered koa back and sides with a solid top, which keeps the koa look and much of the character at a significantly lower price.
