Taylor Next Generation 324ce Mahogany/Sapele Grand Auditorium Acoustic Guitar

Featuring solid sapele back and sides paired with a mahogany top, the 324ce serves up a remarkably balanced tone profile. Its comfortable Grand Auditorium body shape and slender Taylor neck make it easy to get the most out of this model's warmth and midrange focus. The mahogany soundboard's natural compression effect yields a smooth attack, while sapele contributes a touch of top-end shimmer. Three next-generation Taylor innovations offer enhanced tone, playability and live performance utility. Scalloped V-Class® bracing builds on the tonal balance, pitch accuracy and projection of the original V-Class platform, adding greater emphasis to the lower register. A long-tenon Action Control Neck™ allows players to quickly adjust string height to align with playing preferences and adapt to environmental changes. Equipped with advanced Claria System electronics, the 324ce delivers reliable, stage-ready amplified tone that’s easy to dial in for solo performers and gigging musicians who need to sound clear and distinct in a mix. Visual details include a full-body gloss finish with a shaded edgeburst top, a firestripe pickguard, black binding and new Weathervane inlays in Italian acrylic. This model ships in an ultra-durable deluxe hardshell case.
