DESCRIPTION
The Taylor 324ce is a superb acoustic-electric guitar with unique tonal attributes, silky playability, and stunning visuals. It all starts with the tonewoods. Used for the back and sides of the 324ce, Tasmanian blackwood is similar to mahogany, delivering a focused sound with a full midrange, plus a splash of rich high-end shimmer reminiscent of rosewood. It also happens to look amazing as a bookmatched back. A mahogany top adds a natural compression that helps produce beautifully balanced articulation across the tonal range. The Taylor 324ce Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric responds with composure to energetic strumming, and sits nicely in a thick arrangement without extensive processing.
In the 324ce, the superb tonewoods are blended into the sonic alchemy along with Taylor's generous Grand Auditorium body and revolutionary V-Class bracing, which boosts volume evenly across the tonal spectrum, increases sustain, and improves the natural intonation of the instrument by creating a more synergistic response from the soundboard. This fosters a more harmonious relationship between the notes you play, helping chords to ring out in cohesive splendor. Spec'd with ES2 electronics, tasteful understated appointments, and a gorgeous Shaded Edgeburst finish, the Taylor 324ce is an exquisite guitar your collection won't be complete without.
With Taylor's V-Class bracing, an acoustic guitar top can be both stiff and flexible — for more volume and sustain. V-Class bracing provides stiffness parallel to the strings for more rigidity and hence sustain. Flexibility on either side generates the air movement necessary for robust projection. It's the best of both worlds. This groundbreaking innovation also improves intonation; not only producing notes that are louder and with longer sustain — but more in tune with each other.
