Taylor 322e 12-Fret V-Class Acoustic/Electric w/Hardshell Case

Taylor 322e 12-Fret V-Class Acoustic/Electric w/Hardshell Case

A NICE COMPACT 12-FRET, WITH EXOTIC TONEWOODS, AND V-CLASS BRACING. 

The 322e 12-Fret gives a lot of players an instant "back porch guitar" vibe. That guitar that sounds so good, and feels so right that you simply CANNOT put it down. This vintage appeal in certainly enhanced by the Tropical Mahogany top, Tasmanian Blackwood back and sides, and Taylor's patented V-Class bracing. In selecting the tonewoods for the 322e, Taylor went out of their way to bring something special to the player. With its bold midrange focus, Tasmanian blackwood, used for the back and sides, offers a tonal profile resembling that of mahogany or koa — clear and dry, yet also warm — with an added bit of high-end shimmer and richness usually found in rosewood. A mahogany top adds a natural compression that helps produce balanced articulation across the tonal range. It all adds up to a highly musical tone that suits a variety of musical styles. The experience is only enhanced with Taylor's amazing V-Class bracing design which maximizes resonance, clarity, projection, sustain, and intonation up the fretboard. When you need to plug in, you will be pleased to see that the onboard ES-2 electronics keep you tone in tact. 

V-CLASS BRACING ADDS PUNCH, RESONANCE, AND NOTE SEPARATION

The internal bracing of the acoustic guitar has so much to do with seasoning the sound and response of the instrument, and Taylor will stop at nothing to keep improving this recipe. Master Builder and Designer Andy Powers came up with this new V-Class bracing to make the absolute most of providing stiffness parallel to the strings, while remaining flexible on either side, to allow for the adequate amount of air to be moved to really project. Players also notice better sustain, and intonation up the neck. 

KEEP IT SOUNDING NATURAL WITH ES-2 ELECTRONICS

Expression System 2 was designed to do one thing. Make your guitar sound like your guitar when it's plugged in. Nothing more, nothing less. Three strategically placed Piezos are mounted right behind there saddle, giving you immediate access to be able to balance the pickup to your taste. Each Piezo has a little Allen Screw that you can literally adjust on the fly to get your guitar sounding exactly how you want it to. Combine those features with Taylor's amazing preamp, and you've got one of the most revered electronics systems in the acoustic guitar game!
