Taylor Next Generation 322ce Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Tobacco Shaded Edgeburst

Looking for a compact, player-friendly Grand Concert that serves up serious tonal warmth? The Next Generation 322ce pairs a solid Neo-tropical mahogany top with sapele back and sides to deliver a earthy, focused voice packed with punchy midrange and an inviting high-end sparkle. Thanks to its natural compression effect, this solid mahogany soundboard smooths out dynamic strumming and delicate picking alike, while the sapele body gives every note a crisp, clear response that keeps your playing articulate. Supported by Taylor's scalloped V-Class bracing underneath, the soundboard vibrates with enhanced volume, long-blooming sustain, and immaculate intonation across the fretboard.

Playing comfort is front and center with this model, featuring a maneuverable 24.875" short scale length, a comfortable Venetian cutaway, and Taylor’s innovative Action Control Neck joint. This trailblazing long-tenon neck design increases low-end resonance and lets you tweak your action quickly without string removal or major surgery. Known for making acoustic-electric magic, Taylor has graced stages in the hands of fingerstyle legends and modern icons like Jason Mraz, Dave Matthews, and Taylor Swift—and the 322ce holds that high standard with the onboard Claria pickup and preamp system. Designed to conquer stage feedback and piezotic harshness, its soundhole-mounted controls and Mid-Contour knob ensure your plugged-in tone sounds completely natural and ready to mix.
