A Versatile Modern Workhorse Acoustic

The powerhouse 324ce acoustic-electric guitar blends versatile sound with rich tonal characteristics and a comfortable modern feel. This acoustic-electric boasts full mahogany construction for bold midrange with warm low end that sounds great on its own or plugged-in via the onboard ES2 electronics. The guitar’s welcoming Grand Auditorium body shape features a Venetian cutaway for smooth access across the entire fingerboard, plus the 324ce’s sound chamber sports innovative V-Class bracing inside for added volume and sustain. With the 324ce, you'll feel comfortable no matter what style of music you play.

Full mahogany construction

With the 324ce’s all-mahogany construction, you can expect tone that's round and full with exceptional mid-range definition. Sweetwater guitarists find the 324ce has a slightly darker more vintage sound than a typical spruce top Taylor guitar. When strumming chords, it still delivers the signature treble punch that Taylors are known for, a quality that really helps the 324ce cut through dense live mixes.

Grand Auditorium body delivers presence and power

The Grand Auditorium body style is what first helped cement Taylor’s standing among the ranks of guitar-making royalty. It employs the width and depth of a dreadnought but with a narrower waist, which gives Grand Auditorium guitars a sleeker look, and added treble punch. Grand Auditorium body contours make your guitar incredibly comfortable to play both sitting down and standing up. Plus, the 324ce’s Grand Auditorium body style focuses and sharpens the definition of each note for incredible sound quality anytime, anywhere.

V-Class bracing: a sonic revelation

Bracing supports each and every acoustic guitar’s interior, and, though it's almost invisible, bracing shapes guitar acoustics in a big way! X-shape bracing was standard on acoustics for over a century, but Taylor’s revolutionary V-bracing is able to tease more volume and sustain out of a guitar’s sound chamber. V-bracing allows wooden acoustic tops to vibrate with more richness, projection, and sustain with more space inside the sound chamber for note maturation. And if that wasn’t enough, this groundbreaking innovation also improves intonation and adds more overtones — those subtle harmonic eccentricities that add sparkle to top-of-the-line acoustic guitars like the 324ce.

Cutting-edge Taylor Expression System 2 electronics

Need to plug in? Then you’re going to love the Taylor Expression System 2 electronics built into the 324ce! The ES2 system features a revolutionary segmented pickup located behind the bridge saddle; this pickup position delivers remarkably accurate and clear sound production that’s authentic to your playing. Each ES2 system features a handy master volume knob for fast level adjustments, in addition to a 2-band EQ for independent treble/bass adjustments to get the sound you need. Plus, the ES2 system also has a built-in phase switch, which offers essential feedback suppression whenever the system is active.
