Taylor Next Generation 322ce

The Taylor Next Generation 322ce takes the warm, woody character of Taylor’s mahogany-top Grand Concert and pushes it into entirely new territory with a collection of major design upgrades.

Built with a solid neo-tropical mahogany top and solid sapele back and sides, the 322ce delivers a dry, focused voice with exceptional midrange detail and a more vintage-inspired tonal character than a traditional spruce-top Taylor.

The new scalloped V-Class bracing gives the guitar noticeably more warmth, low-end response, and openness while still retaining Taylor’s signature balance and intonation. Taylor’s new Action Control Neck adds a long-tenon neck joint for improved resonance and sustain while allowing quick, shimless action adjustments through the soundhole.

The all-new Claria pickup system rounds out the package with a more natural, plug-and-play amplified voice designed for real-world live performance. With its comfortable Grand Concert body, rich all-wood tone, and forward-thinking design, the Next Generation 322ce is one of the most player-focused acoustic-electrics Taylor has ever produced.
