Taylor DN-K Dreadnought Koa
Item: TODNK
The Dreadnought is heralded as the most traditional of all acoustics. By definition, it’s a battleship of a guitar, and this Taylor Koa Dreadnought really pays tribute to that legacy, and then some. Taylor's Koa Series Acoustics are designed to enhance koa’s natural tonal nuances, yielding the richest, most dynamic acoustic sound possible. This Taylor Dreadnought’s smooth sounding bass and articulate mids dare you to just dig in and challenge your flatpicking prowess. Ivoroid binding applies a classic acoustic touch next to the sparkling abalone top trim and rosette. So, just start pickin' and the grinnin' will come!
It's interesting to note Taylor's innovative ultra violet-cured finish is more environmentally friendly than traditional lacquer finishes, and was developed for resistance to cold-checking and maximum durability. It's also worthwhile to evaluate a few of Taylor's inovations to acoustic electric guitars. Taylor's Expression System utilizes patented Dynamic Sensors designed to faithfully reproduce your guitar's native tone. Created in partnership with renowned audio pioneer, Rupert Neve, the Taylor Expression System is seamlessly integrated into the design of the guitar to capture top and string vibration.
