This exceptional All-Koa Taylor is in like-new condition, no dings, no pick scratches, no wear marks whatsoever. It has spent its life in a humidified case at 70F. It was built in February 2018 and purchased new by me in June, 2018. This fine instrument has very few playing hours on it. As you will see below, the Koa wood on this guitar is exceptional. It was one of the rare two-piece back models built in 2018 as Koa supplies became restricted and Taylor began building three piece backs and announced they were sold out of Koa for the year on June 8. This guitar will only increase in value while you experience the famed delayed “opening up” of the Hawaiian Koa in your hands.
Taylor has raised the price of new 2019 K24ce V-Class models to reflect the increasing imbalance in supply/demand for Hawaiian Koa wood. There are no specification changes between 2018 and 2019 models according to Taylor Customer Service. Buy this guitar now at $3800 and I will cover CONUS shipping and payment processing. For your protection and safe shipping, the transaction will be processed through my dealer who will also professionally package, insure and ship the guitar. Includes Deluxe Taylor case and a fresh set of strings installed.
OPTIONAL: Available with purchase of this guitar is the Fishman Loudbox Mini “Songwriters Package”. This package adds a mic, mic stand and mic cable to the market leading Fishman Loudbox Mini amp designed specifically for acoustic guitar amplification. This amp has about two hours of play on it and is in mint condition. The mic, mic stand and mic cable have never been used. I payed $329 for this package, perfect for a Taylor with the ES2 pickup system. In addition, I can include a nearly new $60 18’ Mogami Gold instrument cable. This is a very high end guitar cable, one of the best on the market and has one straight and one right angle 1/4” connectors for maximum versatility. Also includes the Fishman OE custom carrying case, a $100 value, brand new, still in unopened box. I am asking $350+shipping for this additional gear.

More photos. Note the intricate maple wood vine inlay on the Ebony fretboard and the maple purfling running its full length. This is Ebony from Taylor’s Crelicam mill in Camaroon, Africa. Incredible craftsmanship throughout this fine guitar.

Why are you selling?
-
I am hoping to upgrade to a more expensive custom Koa. If I don’t sell this guitar, I will happily keep it.

More pics! Note the exquisite maple inlay logo, leaflet and purfling surrounding the headstock and extending the entire length of the fretboard. There is the slightest hint of variegation in the Ebony from Taylor’s Crelicam mill in Camaroon adorning the headstock. That’s real maple wood binding on the sides. The gold Taylor tuners are smooth as silk and hold a tune for weeks. Of course, the ES2 pickup system with preamp is included. Amazing custom-like detailing on a production guitar. Only by Taylor!

Taylor has increased pricing for new 2019 K24ces. . If you’ve been thinking about a Koa heirloom, it’s time to move. Koa supplies will fail to meet demand indefinitely meaning these guitars will only become more expensive and harder to find.

Given the Hefty Taylor price increase, I have decided to re-post this exceptional guitar with new pricing that includes shipping and payment processing. This has actually reduced the out-of-pocket cost to the buyer versus my prior post. As before, my dealer will be providing professional packaging and insured shipping as well as payment processing to make life easy and secure for the buyer. You will not be disappointed in this guitar!

Unusual selling strategy. Good luck with your sale.

Thank you. I am not giving this fine guitar away. My current asking price is inline or lower than prices on other websites. With shipping, credit card fees and a dealer handling it, I have costs coming out of the asking price, so net to me is already skinny from my viewpoint. I will get a fair price or just keep it. Apparently Taylor thinks they’re worth more. I have a very strong feeling they know Koa supplies will be restricted for years to come.

Celebrating 600 views! Time to sell. Price goes up Friday.
-
March pricing is in effect. The price for this guitar is still inline or lower than on other websites. CONUS shipping, insurance, transaction fees and professional dealer packaging and handling are included in this turnkey price. There are no surprise costs for you. PM me for any additional information you require. Thanks for looking.
-
You raised the price by $200 (from $3,600 to $3,800), an interesting method to sell. We hope you are able to sell this guitar at a price that you are comfortable with.
Good luck!

Thanks. I wish you would spell out Taylor’s price action right next to mine so that it would make more sense to potential buyers.

I'm still saving up. Is there any guidance on whether April pricing will be higher or lower than March pricing?

I can only speculate about future pricing actions and with exotics like Koa you just never know. Demand for Koa has never been higher and the supply is limited. Taylor announced they were sold out and stopped accepting new orders for Koa guitars on June 8th last year. May be sooner this year. We have the additional unknown of a CITES meeting coming up in May where the importation rules may change. However, my hope and expectation is that, given the magnitude of this recent increase, no further pricing action will be needed for a while.

NEW 3/2/19: Optional Market leading Fishman Loudbox Mini acoustic guitar amp is offered. Includes “Songwriter Package” consisting of mic, mic stand and mic cord. Also includes a $60 18’ Mogami Gold guitar cable with one straight 1/4” connector and one right angle (protects your guitar when sitting).

The amp and Mogami cable have approximately two hours of play on them. The mic, mic stand, mic cable and OE carrying case are brand new, never used. I am asking $350+shipping for this gear.
