Overview
K26ce
The all-Hawaiian-koa K26ce is an acoustic guitar with a totally distinctive voice that blends koa's clarity and warmth with a high-fidelity, surround-sound experience. The innovative soundport tucked into the cutaway helps disperse sound omnidirectionally for a room-filling sound worthy of the Grand Symphony body shape, while V-Class bracing enhances the response with more power, longer sustain and a more harmonious sound between notes as you move down the neck. Koa's gorgeous visual character is accented with a beautiful gloss edgeburst finish and organic, wood-focused details. The K26ce ships with ES2 electronics and a deluxe hardshell guitar case.
“It is reassuring to note that a human armed with a chisel and old-fashioned ingenuity is capable of making waves—waves of both surf and sound, perhaps the biggest revolution in acoustic guitar architecture since the dawn of X-Bracing.”
Features
Hawaiian Koa
Vibrant midrange voice with a dash of sparkle in the top end. Beautiful grain and coloration. Grows sweeter and warmer with time and play.
Hawaiian Koa
As a hardwood, koa produces a focused midrange and features a natural built-in compression that levels out the response. Warmth and overtones emerge over time and play.
Expression System® 2
The Expression System® 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.
V-Class Bracing
Our patented V-Class bracing is a revolutionary new pattern — a new sonic engine — that marks a major shift away from traditional steel-string bracing patterns.

Questions & Answers
Preguntas frecuentes
11 questions
How is it for fingerstyle, expression, and dynamic range?
The K26ce is an excellent choice for fingerstyle players seeking a guitar with expressive tonal qualities and a wide dynamic range. The solid Hawaiian Koa top, back, and sides produce a balanced and articulate voice with a focus on midrange sweetness and clarity. Koa’s tonal characteristics evolve with time, becoming richer and warmer the more it’s played. The Grand Symphony body shape delivers impressive volume and sustain, providing a robust low end and shimmering highs. This makes it ideal for expressive playing, allowing fingerstyle nuances to come through clearly while supporting dynamic transitions.

Great Guitar
I have this guitar, and as soon as I played it, it became my favourite. The tone is beautiful, a little hard to fret for an F Maj Barre Chord, but it is incredible. I play it for my Finger style, never used a pick for strumming on it, yet.

Incredibly clear sound with great projection.
This guitar has an incredible full sound with clear highs and deep lows. I was a bit put off by the look of the sound port at first but once I played it I realized how great it made the high notes. You can hear the higher notes resonating from the sound port while the traditional port carries most of the lows.
The koa wood has such a clean sound that I really like. I have found that some koa guitars have low projection and are a bit too quiet for my preference - but this guitar has great projection and really sings.
This guitar has great resonance and sustain. The playability is amazing. Top notch quality. The inly downside that I can think of is the price.

Great sound with a long sustain, rich harmonics, very complementary to my 818e, impressive effect of the special cutaway.
Easy to play whatever you play: I am a simple amateur who likes to play various songs with my friends and family.
And an amazing look!

great guitar and workmanshiip but held back byexpression system
excellent worksmanship as expected from taylor…. looks great, feels great, and plays very well…. stays in tune…. i think the v-class sound does bring the taylor to a new level…. to me the expression system is the weakness link of the taylor guitars…. 15 years ago it may be fine but now with the l.r. baggs anthem and other improved mic pickups they r the better choice…. also the expression system cuts into the wood with 3 holes (small holes but still holes) it makes upgraging to a different pickup more challenging…

Awesome guitar
This thing is awesome and worth every penny. Great sound with or without an amp or even directly in to record (no mic required). It plays and looks amazing.
