Taylor LKSM Leo Kottke Signature Model 12-string

Taylor LKSM Leo Kottke Signature Model 12-string Description

One of the most celebrated and popular 12-strings ever made, the Leo Kottke Signature Model combines tropical American mahogany back and sides, Sitka spruce top, Indian rosewood binding, and special bracing to produce that unmistakable Kottke sound.

The clarity and fullness of mahogany and Sitka spruce together make them ideal partners for a 12-string guitar.

The Jumbo delivers the extra-deep resonance and volume that come with a larger sound chamber together with its own signature subtleties. With a huge presence, the Jumbo is perfectly suited for aggressive strumming.

The finish used to create this guitar’s lustrous gloss top, back, and sides was developed at Taylor for maximum durability and resistance to cold-checking. This ultra violet-cured finish is also more environmentally friendly than traditional lacquer finishes. Available in natural finish.
