All-mahogany tonewood construction
The Taylor 322ce Grand Concert Electro Acoustic Guitar is crafted entirely from neo-tropical mahogany, including the top, back, sides and neck. This all-mahogany build delivers a naturally warm, focused tone with a pronounced midrange that cuts clearly through any mix. Known for its dry, woody character, mahogany also produces strong fundamentals and minimal overtone complexity, making it perfect for precise, articulate playing styles. Fingerpicking and light strumming patterns both benefit from the tonal clarity and balance of this wood combination, giving you exceptional control and musicality in both live and studio environments.
V-Class bracing innovation
Inside the 322ce is Taylor’s patented V-Class bracing, a revolutionary design that redefines how the top moves and vibrates. Unlike traditional X-bracing, V-Class bracing enhances both volume and sustain by allowing the top to vibrate more efficiently while improving intonation across the fretboard. This means you get a fuller, more harmonically rich sound with chords that ring out longer and single notes that bloom with clarity. It's particularly beneficial for recording and solo performance, where every nuance matters. The result is a guitar that not only sounds louder but also delivers exceptional tonal consistency from note to note.
Comfortable Grand Concert body
With its compact Grand Concert body shape, the 322ce offers an exceptionally comfortable playing experience. The smaller body makes it easy to hold during extended sessions, at home or on stage. Its shorter 24-7/8" scale length reduces string tension, making it easier to press notes and bend strings, which is particularly advantageous for fingerstyle technique and light-touch playing. The Venetian cutaway adds visual elegance and provides smooth access to upper frets, encouraging melodic exploration beyond the 12th fret. This body shape is perfect if you're seeking a comfortable playing experience.
Performance-ready electronics and style
The 322ce comes fitted with Taylor’s Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics, ensuring that the natural acoustic character of the guitar translates accurately when amplified. This behind-the-saddle pickup design captures a dynamic range of tone and nuance that traditional systems often miss, making it a reliable choice for stage and studio use alike. Aesthetically, the guitar stands out with its shaded edgeburst top, firestripe pickguard and satin black hardware, giving it a vintage-inspired, rootsy vibe. With premium details and a deluxe Taylor hardshell case included, the 322ce is built to deliver tone, comfort and visual appeal in one refined package.
