Taylor K26ce -

You know, Taylor Guitars makes some pretty sexy guitars. This K26ce we just got in is a good example as you can see.
The Grand Symphony sized body really lends itself to the Koa tonewood, adding bass and roundness to an otherwise clear mid-range. It rings like a bell when you want it and cuddles you with warm bass when you need it to.

 The grain! Oh My! The grain of this Koa is crazy beautiful and Taylors' shaded burst really accentuates the variety of warm syrupy colors.

The detail in the purfling and fretboard inlay is immaculate. I love the whimsical, vine inlay they have on these Koa series.

It's such a sleek and sexy machine and plays so unbelievably well, given Taylor Guitars expertly carved neck profile. 

Come on in and check this one out. It's such a beautiful instrument, crafted by one of America's leading guitar Manufacturers. The Taylor K26ce should be in your music life if you like big, sexy, bold statements and a clean, clear, even guitar tone.

Pick Of  The Week.

The Taylor K26ce

Unreal.  Just unreal.  The Koa on this new K26ce is breath taking.  Up close, as it catches light, it appears to be on fire at every angle.  View from a distance and a whole other profile appears.

Can you believe the back on this K26ce?

Upon playing this beauty, it was very obvious to us that this guitar takes a flat pick like a champ.  Most Koa takes a bit of time to really open up.  Not this one.  It's a knockout straight outta the gate.  No doubt about it, there is a distinct, full and incredibly round bass response on this guitar.  Surprisingly warm, clear and big, it absolutely doesn't give up when pushed. Yet, light finger picking reveals shimmer and shine in the way of tonal complexity that Taylor is known for the world over.  What a wonderful guitar for a singer to accompany themselves with.

Island Vine Headstock Inlay

Indian Rosewood binding, Island vine inlay on the fretboard from top to bottom, shaded edge burst and The Taylor Expression pickup system round out the exceptional detail on this fabulous guitar.

So, when it comes to looks, playability and sound. This guitar hits, what we call, the "POTW" trifecta. It's a stunner in every way and oh yeah, get this: It's a production model! Not a custom build. Unreal. Just Unreal. Hands down the Pick Of The Week.
