Taylor Guitars has released two limited-edition Hawaiian koa models in its Legacy Collection: the Legacy K65e LTD (pictured) and the Custom Legacy K10 LTD. Marking the first time Taylor’s Koa Series has been represented in the Legacy Collection, the pair showcases Hawaiian koa in two distinctive forms, an all-koa 12-string jumbo and a six-string dreadnought crafted with a deeper, tapered body profile and a Engelmann spruce top. Originally launched in 2024 to celebrate Taylor’s 50th anniversary, the Legacy Collection honors Taylor’s heritage with select guitars inspired by Bob Taylor’s classic builds and voiced with versions of Bob’s X-bracing. The two new koa models carry that lineage forward with one revisiting the Jumbo 12-string that helped establish Taylor five decades ago, while the other reimagines the classic dreadnought with a revoiced, scalloped open X-bracing pattern.
