The compact Grand Concert body is a natural fit with Hawaiian koa, whose vibrant voice is reflected in these guitars stunning aesthetic details and American craftsmanship. The K22ce 12-Fret boasts back, sides and top of solid, beautifully grained Hawaiian koa, resulting in a punchy response with a warm, rich midrange, crisp trebles and low-end warmth. The 12-fret configuration adds a bit of extra midrange heft in addition to providing a slinkier, more relaxed fretting feel. Koa s natural aging properties mean this guitar will sound better and better with age, opening up with new sweetness and depth over time. Maple binding, Spring Vine inlays and a dark edgeburst finish highlight koa s organic visual character.
