Details
This Taylor K22ce 12-fret is in excellent, lightly played condition. It has just the slightest signs of fret wear. The top, back and sides of the Taylor K22ce are made from solid koa, a combination that produces a lovely guitar that sounds as good as it looks. This K22ce also has Taylor's V-Class bracing. Named for its distinctive shape this system was designed by Andy Powers, the V-Class guitars are an intriguing step forward in guitar evolution. Perhaps the most noticeable attribute of the new guitars is the increase in sustain and overall response. These guitars produce impressive sound at the lightest touch and yet they can be played aggressively without breaking up.
We're big fans of these Taylor 12-fret versions of their Grand Concert model. The combination of a shorter neck and the shorter scale moves your left hand a lot closer to your body and for some of us that results in more control and an improved ability to see what you're doing (since your hands are closer together). Another plus is that moving the bridge down closer to the center of the lower bout (the most active portion of the soundboard) results in a warmer, bigger sound than you'd expect from this relatively small size. The short-scale 24-7/8-inch neck is very playable and makes fretting and bending strings easier than on a long-scale neck. The original hardshell case is in equally clean condition.
