Taylor 12 Fret-GC-LTD Grand Concert 2011 Limited Koa
Item: TOKOA12FTGCLTD11F
The flamey AA-grade koa earmarked for this series was so seductive we couldn't resist going all-koa. Larry Breedlove's rosette design incorporates a serpentine swath of koa set against creamy boxwood. The koa/boxwood pairing carries over to the Engraved Twist fretboard inlay, in which the design's swirling complexity is tempered with the subtle, organic quality of thin wood lines. A shaded edgeburst around the entire guitar, including the neck, adds a touch of vintage Hawaiian charm that's complemented by rosewood binding, thin white purfling, and Gotoh tuners.
You can expect a warmer, richer overall tone with this 12-Fret Grand Concert Limited Koa due to the bridge’s more central placement on the lower bout. Tonally, a koa top should make koa's natural midrange sweetness even more pronounced, especially after the guitar has been played in. Koa guitars also tend to be well-suited for the stage because the initial attack is balanced and focused without being boomy.
