TAYLOR K20C reviewed by Denny

These Taylor K20c guitars from the late 1990s are gorgeous to both the ear and eye...seems like Taylor cranked these out right before the demand for highly figured Koa went way up. The ones that I have seen and played have deep, rich sound qualities as well as easy playability/action, I love the cut-away too; the result is a natural uplift my playing into places that I had NO idea that I would get to. Bravo Taylor!
