Taylor - Koa 700 Series - 724ceHawaiian koa s seductive charms are legendary. With the new all-koa 700 Series, Taylor masterdesigner Andy Powers has embraced koa s natural beauty and sonic virtues in a fresh way thatreveals a distinctive musical personality compared to Taylor s Koa Series. Where the Koa Seriesshowcases an ultra-refined look and sound, with figured wood, rich appointments, gloss finishand a smooth voice, the new 700 Series channels more of koa s natural character in look, feeland sound. Select-grade koa boasts rich color variegation and straight grain structure.A newback bracing pattern, together with ultra-thin matte finish, coaxes a livelier, punchier, moredirect response from the guitar, making it exceptionally player-reflective. The thin finish alsocreates a warm and inviting tactile sensation with the natural wood texture, making players feeleven more connected to the guitar. A new suite of appointments includes mother-of-pearlFountain fretboard/inlays, rosewood binding (including soundhole), maple/rosewood top edgetrim, a paua/rosewood rosette, a dark-stained maple pickguard and Taylor polished bronzetuners. Model offerings include the Grand Auditorium 724ce and Grand Concert 722ce.Timeless koa appeal reimagined with a vibrant new voice.With the new, all-solid-koa 700 Series, Taylor master designer Andy Powers has embraced Hawaiian koa s natural beauty and sonic virtues in a fresh way that brings a distinctive musical personality to the Taylor line.Compared to our established Koa Series, which showcases an ultra-refined look and sound, featuringfigured koa, rich appointments, gloss finish and a smooth voice, the koa 700 Series channels more of koa s natural character in look, feel and sound.How the Series Was BornBack in 2015, Taylor formed a Hawaii-based partnership with tonewood supplier Pacific Rim Tonewoods to supply and grow Hawaiian koa for the future. (The company is called Siglo Tonewoods.)Part of our commitment is to contribute to current forest restoration efforts in Hawaii on a project basis through contracts with Hawaiian landowners.As specified in these stewardship agreements, Siglo is permitted to cut a select number of designated koa trees, and in exchange, we invest dollar for dollar in a host of forest improvement projects.These arrangements have enabled us to cut into more koa logs ourselves and discover far more varieties of koa wood, featuring a rich palette of colors with beautiful striping. (We hadn t previously been exposed to this type of koa in dealing with suppliers.) We gave this wood its own classification as Select-grade.Taylor master builder Andy Powers was excited by the new opportunities this wood presented. It inspired him to design what became the Koa 700 Series. He wanted to honor the unique characteristics of this wood by offering players another compelling koa playing experience.Unique Design FeaturesSelect-grade koa: Boasts rich color variegation and straight grain structureUltra-thin matte finish :Feel: The thin open-pore finish creates a warm and inviting tactile sensation; you can feel the natural wood texture, creating a more intimate connection to the guitarSound: Together with slightly altered back bracing, the voicing is different from our KoaSeries: a livelier, punchier, more direct response, making it exceptionally player-reflectiveAppointmentsFretboard/Peghead Inlay: New Fountain design in mother-of-pearlBody Edge Treatment: Indian rosewood binding (including soundhole)Rosette: Single ring, paua and rosewoodTuners: Taylor polished bronzeOther Unique Features: Maple/black/rosewood top edge trim, dark-stained maple pickguard I wanted to offer traditional appointments, with a focus on natural materials like wood and shell. I wanted the inlay to be unobtrusive and not too heavy in its ornamentation. Andy Powers These guitars retain the unique sweetness we associate with a koa guitar especially that beautiful midrange but with a more direct, punchier attack.

An expanded palette of koa sound.Players can choose from an array of koa models offered across the Taylor line, from the all-solid-wood Koa and 700 Series to select models within the 200 and 200 Deluxe Series to GS Mini and Baby Taylor models.Specifications : Body Wood:Solid Select-Grade Hawaiian KoaTop Wood:Solid Select-Grade Hawaiian KoaNeck:Neo-Tropical MahoganyFretboard:West African EbonyNut Width:1-3/4 Scale Length:25-1/2 (724ce), 24-7/8 (722ce)Electronics:ES2Case:Taylor Deluxe Hardshell Case
