The Taylor Next Generation Builder’s Edition 324ce takes the warm, focused character of the 300 Series and pairs it with Taylor’s latest design updates and the comfort-focused details that define the Builder’s Edition. Its solid mahogany top and solid sapele back and sides produce a strong, balanced midrange with controlled overtones, while the Grand Auditorium body keeps the response clear and versatile. Scalloped V-Class bracing with a relief rout adds greater volume, sustain and depth across the instrument.

Taylor’s long-tenon Action Control Neck adds another major update, allowing string height to be adjusted without changing the saddle while also enhancing the connection between the neck and body. Builder’s Edition touches include chamfered body edges, a beveled neo-tropical mahogany armrest and beveled cutaway, along with a smooth satin finish. Grained ivoroid Weathervane inlays, West African Crelicam ebony appointments and the Tobacco Kona Burst finish give the 324ce a clean, understated look that fits the guitar’s more refined design.

The new Claria Acoustic Pickup System handles amplification with a redesigned piezo pickup and an intuitive mid-contour control for shaping the guitar’s plugged-in response. A Taylor Deluxe Hardshell Brown case is included.
