K21e
The first of our GT acoustic guitars to feature Hawaiian koa, the K21e is a treat in both sound and style for players seeking a fun, spontaneous guitar that can go anywhere. The GT is sized between the GS Mini and the Grand Concert body, and with all-solid Hawaiian koa back, sides, and top, this model boasts a vibrant tone with clear highs, a punchy midrange and surprising low-end power thanks to the C-Class bracing inside. The shorter scale makes for an inviting feel and a relaxed fretting experience, and the built-in ES2 electronics mean the K21e is ready to plug in and play. Stunning wood-centric appointments such as the Island Vine inlay highlight koa's visual character. This model ships with a lightweight, durable AeroCase.
