Taylor 324ce Grand Auditorium Electro Acoustic Overview
The Taylor 324ce Grand Auditorium Electro Acoustic has a Tasmanian Blackwood back and sides, which has a similar tone profile to mahogany and the richness of rosewood, providing a clear and warm sound with a little top-end shimmer, with a great volume and projection. The hardwood mahogany top delivers a clear and direct focus, providing a bright tone that gradually deepens the more you play and the more time that passes.
The 324ce has Taylor’s signature Grand Auditorium body shape which is a great all-rounder and is ideal both fingerpicking and strumming, with a Venetian cutaway for easier access to the upper frets.
It also features Taylor’s innovative V-Class bracing which improves the volume and sustain, as well as the intonation. The 324ce has a Tropical Mahogany neck, which adds warmth and sweetness to the overall tone, topped with a durable 20-fret West African Crelicam Ebony fretboard, which comes directly from Taylor’s own ebony sawmill in Cameroon called ‘Crelicam’, providing them with a sustainable supply of high-quality ebony to use.
It has Expression System 2 electronics which includes Taylor’s patented behind-the-saddle pickup allowing for a more dynamic range to be captured, and Taylor’s custom-designed professional-grade preamp, which combined provide a natural sound that brings out the acoustic characteristics of the guitar.
The Taylor 324ce is completed with a three-ring rosette, black binding and pickguard, gemstone Italian acrylic inlays, and a shaded edge burst on the mahogany top to provide a natural, rootsy feel.
Includes a Taylor Deluxe Hardshell Brown case.
