Description
Taylor have impressed us with this New Taylor Next Generation 324ce Grand Auditorium Cutaway Electro Acoustic Guitar in Edgeburst in Guitars, it’s in stock, and ready to ship with fast, reliable delivery across the UK, Ireland, and Europe. For more details within Guitars, additional Acoustic Guitars options, full specifications, demos, images, videos, and secure online ordering, read on below.
The 324ce swaps out a spruce top for mahogany, and the denser hardwood brings a natural compression to the voice across the tonal spectrum, producing a slightly darker, more linear response that emphasises midrange focus. The new scalloped V-Class bracing and long-tenon neck coax extra warmth from the guitar, which balances nicely with sapele’s clear upper register.
While the 324ce shares the same fundamental appointments that define the next-gen 314ce, the darker mahogany top is accented with other unique aesthetic touches, including a shaded edgeburst — giving the white rosette and top purfling lines extra visual pop — and satin black Taylor tuning machines and buttons.
Key Features
- Long-Tenon Action Control Neck -The long-tenon neck joint improves the neck-to-body connection, adding warmth and depth to the guitar’s voice. At the same time, the Action Control feature makes adjusting string height quicker and more precise than ever — no need to remove strings or the neck. Players can dial in their preferred setup in seconds and adapt on the fly to changing styles or shifting climate conditions. It’s the ultimate fusion of tone, stability and setup convenience.
- Scalloped V-Class Bracing – The latest evolution of Taylor’s V-Class bracing introduces a scalloped profile that unlocks a warmer low end and richer open-string resonance, while preserving the balance, pitch accuracy and projection that define V-Class. The guitars are now seasoned with a touch of low-end depth that adds more fullness to the voice.
- Claria System Acoustic Electronics – Developed with extensive input from touring artists and live sound engineers, Taylor’s new Claria System reimagines the under-saddle piezo pickup to deliver consistent plug-and-play acoustic tone in any setting. A proprietary preamp tames the harshness of traditional piezos and incorporates soundhole-mounted controls: Volume, Tone and a versatile Mid-Contour knob. The result is a consistent, stage-ready tone that’s easy to shape for any setting — from solo café gigs to large-venue performances.
