Some guitars are built to sound incredible. Others are built to stop people in their tracks before they ever hear a note. This Taylor K26ce manages to do both.
Finished in a stunning Shaded Edgeburst, this K26ce showcases some of the most eye-catching Hawaiian koa you'll find anywhere. The top absolutely dances under the light with deep flame, curl, and dimensional figuring that seems to shift from every angle. Flip it over and the back is every bit as impressive, featuring beautifully matched koa with dramatic ribboning and flame that gives this guitar a true boutique, heirloom-quality appearance.
Taylor's V-Class bracing takes everything players love about koa and elevates it even further. Notes bloom with exceptional sustain, chords ring with remarkable harmonic detail, and the improved intonation makes this guitar feel incredibly balanced all the way up the neck. Whether you're fingerpicking delicate passages or digging in with a flatpick, the K26ce delivers a rich, articulate voice with plenty of projection and clarity.
One of the standout visual appointments on this guitar is the breathtaking maple vine inlay that winds its way up the ebony fingerboard. Elegant without being overdone, it perfectly complements the warm tones of the koa and gives the instrument a custom-shop level aesthetic. Combined with the ebony armrest, premium binding, and refined appointments throughout, this is a guitar that feels every bit as luxurious as it looks.
This example is in excellent to mint condition and includes the original hardshell case.
A showcase-grade Taylor that pairs world-class craftsmanship with absolutely jaw-dropping koa figuring. If you're looking for a premium acoustic that sounds as beautiful as it looks, this K26ce checks every box.
