The Grand Concert cutaway from the Koa Series receives a major upgrade with the addition of V-Class bracing, an interior scheme that drives greater volume and sustain from this small-bodied guitar. Paired with the K22ce’s all-Hawaiian-koa body and a 12-fret configuration that helps produce more midrange presence, this comfortable, visually inspiring guitar offers fingerstylists and strummers alike a compact instrument that responds with clarity and warmth in any situation. Detailed with maple binding, Spring Vine inlays, and a dark-hued shaded edgeburst finish treatment, the K22ce 12-Fret also offers players the chance to experience the unique aging qualities of koa, which opens up with greater sweetness and depth as the guitar is played over time. It ships with ES2 electronics and a Venetian cutaway in a deluxe hardshell case.
