Overview

A versatile acoustic-electric with Taylor's signature playability.

The Taylor 324ce Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar brings the American company's renowned tonewood pairing and craftsmanship to an accessible price point. Built in the USA, the 324ce combines a solid mahogany top, back and sides for a naturally balanced and focused voice that suits songwriters. Its slim mahogany neck and Grand Auditorium body shape make for all-day playing comfort. Taylor's revolutionary V-Class bracing optimizes the guitar's resonance and volume. Plug in its Expression System 2 pickup and the 324ce projects your acoustic tone faithfully through an amp or PA. For guitarists wanting Taylor's signature playability in an affordable all-solid-wood instrument, the 324ce delivers.

Craft Natural Tone With Solid Mahogany Body

The 324ce's solid mahogany top, back and sides produce a clear, balanced acoustic tone with a strong midrange fundamental. The mahogany body focuses each note and smoothly compresses your attack. This guitar sings when fingerpicked yet remains focused when strummed. The all-mahogany construction yields excellent note separation for chord voicings and warm lows that complement vocals. From the studio to the stage, the 324ce's mahogany body produces a natural tone.

Enjoy All-day Playing Comfort

Taylor designed the 324ce Grand Auditorium for playing ease. Its slim mahogany neck has a smooth satin finish for fast, comfortable movement up and down the rosewood fingerboard. A 15" fingerboard radius and 1 3/4" nut width lend a familiar, inviting feel. The contoured Grand Auditorium body enables effortless upper fret access. Weighing just 4 pounds, the 324ce feels lightweight during extended practice sessions and live performances. Plus, the acoustic-electric comes in a Taylor deluxe hardshell case for safe transport.

Hear Optimal Resonance With V-Class Bracing

Taylor's V-Class bracing propels the 324ce's sound projection and structural integrity. The innovative design improves guitar body vibration for balanced volume across all frequencies. Notes burst with clear articulation and enhanced sustain. Even during aggressive strumming, the Grand Auditorium body remains composed. V-Class bracing makes the 324ce an acoustic guitar that's a joy to both play and hear.

Plug in the Expression System 2 Pickup

The 324ce comes stage-ready with Taylor's Expression System 2 pickup and preamp. Featuring three adjustable knobs—volume, treble and bass—the ES2 pickup blends and boosts your acoustic tone's natural frequencies. The treble knob adds shimmer to high notes. Turn up the bass knob to fill out the low end. With the ES2 preamp's chromatic tuner and phase switch, dialing in amplified tone is effortless. The 324ce projects your true acoustic sound accurately through PA speakers and monitors.
