Taylor Guitars

Its among the most striking of all tonewoods beautiful, distinctive tone, and yet, at times, so elusive. Producing the Koa Series is driven entirely by our ability to procure a consistent, quality-grade supply. The good news: Lately, weve been able to acquire some of the nicest koa weve seen in a long, long time.
After a several-year hiatus, the Koa Series makes an impressive return, this time in both the Acoustic and Acoustic/Electric lines. Look for beautifully figured Koa backs, sides, and optional tops. The dramatic maple binding on the Acoustic/Electrics and elegant Ivoroid binding on the Acoustics complements the undulating Koa in its own unique way.

The Koa Series will remain available only while our supplies last.
