Taylor 324ce V-Class Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Guitar Shaded Edge Burst

The Taylor 324ce acoustic-electric guitar brings together the brand's innovative V-Class bracing and Expression System 2 electronics for stellar amplified performance. With its Grand Auditorium body style, mahogany construction and ebony appointments, the 324ce generates a balanced, organic tone perfect for fingerstyle playing, strumming and flatpicking. V-Class bracing optimizes the guitar's intonation and sustain by tuning the vibrational behavior of the top. This results in tremendous dynamic range and clarity across the tonal spectrum. The ES2 pickup features three adjustable sensors to capture the 324ce's natural acoustic voice. On stage or in the studio, you'll appreciate the ES2's clear, transparent amplified tone. The 324ce's all-mahogany body and neck produce warm, earthy tones, while the ebony fingerboard and bridge enhance note articulation and presence. With its impressive electronics and comfortable 15" radius, the 324ce excels as a gig-ready acoustic. V-Class Bracing Tuned for Enhanced Response At the heart of the 324ce is Taylor's groundbreaking V-Class bracing. By tuning the guitar's internal architecture, V-Class improves intonation and sustain. You'll notice expanded dynamic range with sweet, ringing highs and tight, articulate bass notes. Chords ring out with clarity and individual notes sing with resonance. Whether you're fingerpicking intricately or strumming boldly, V-Class bracing optimizes the 324ce's voice. This innovative bracing shifts the guitar's tonal balance slightly forward in the soundhole, resulting in clear note separation and a focused sound. You'll also appreciate the 324ce's impressive sustain, which allows notes and chords to bloom and decay naturally. Expression System 2 Captures True Acoustic Tone Plug in the 324ce and Taylor's Expression System 2 faithfully conveys your playing nuances. With three adjustable sensors positioned behind the saddle, the ES2 pickup captures the guitar's organic resonance. The sensors are calibrated individually to pick up different tonal ranges, resulting in a clear and balanced amplified tone. ES2's discrete architecture prevents crosstalk between the pickup and guitar body, rejecting feedback. With easy-to-use bass, midrange and treble controls, you can shape your amplified tone on the fly. Whether practicing at home, performing on stage or tracking in the studio, the 324ce's ES2 preamp and pickup translate all the warmth and complexity of your playing. All-Mahogany Construction Generates Rich, Warm Tones The 324ce's mahogany top, back and sides imbue it with a hearty midrange emphasis and smooth, compressed sound. Compared to spruce, mahogany's lower density lends a more restrained voice. You'll love the 324ce's singing mids, beefy low end and vintage character. Its satin finish allows the wood's natural resonance to shine. The mahogany neck offers a comfortable profile, while the African ebony fingerboard provides crisp note articulation. Whether fingerpicking chord melodies or strumming open chords, the 324ce's mahogany construction produces organic, unplugged tones. Grand Auditorium Build for Versatile Response With its crisp trebles, scooped midrange and controlled lows, the Grand Auditorium body style yields versatile tone. Compared to other shapes like the Dreadnought, the GA's attenuated bass and midrange prevent muddiness. The result is a clear, balanced voice that accommodates various techniques. Fingerstyle playing elicits a detailed response with bell-like highs. Flatpicking and strumming remain articulate and focused. The GA shape's shallower body depth provides playing comfort, while the cutaway grants easy upper-fret access. On stage or in the studio, the 324ce's Grand Auditorium build gives you tonal flexibility.
