The Player's Command Center

Some guitars just feel like an extension of your own hands—an instrument that works with you, not against you. That's the Builder's Edition 324ce in a nutshell. Taylor took their workhorse Grand Auditorium shape and gave it the full Builder's Edition treatment, focusing every detail on player comfort and inspiring tone. The result is a guitar that delivers a powerful, focused midrange voice that's pure mahogany goodness, with a playing experience that feels effortless from the first chord.

Warm, Woody, and Wonderfully Focused

The magic starts with the tonewoods: a solid Neo-Tropical Mahogany top paired with solid Sapele back and sides. This isn't your typical spruce-top sound. It's dry, warm, and exceptionally clear, with a strong fundamental and very few muddying overtones. It's a sound that records like a dream and sits perfectly in a mix, whether you're a solo singer-songwriter or cutting through a full band. The scalloped V-Class bracing inside enhances the volume and sustain, making every note bloom with harmonic richness.

Built for the Player

This is where the "Builder's Edition" name really earns its keep. You feel it instantly in the beveled armrest, which takes the sharp edge off the body for a buttery-smooth feel against your picking arm. The beveled cutaway offers insane access to the upper frets without forcing your wrist into an awkward angle. Add in the chamfered body edges, and the whole guitar just melts into your body, making it a joy to play for hours on end. The new Action Control Neck not only adds resonance but gives you an unprecedented level of control over your string height for the perfect setup.

Stage-Ready Claria Electronics

When it's time to plug in, the new Claria Acoustic Pickup System delivers a transparent, natural amplification of the guitar's organic tone. Taylor has made it incredibly intuitive to dial in your sound, with a simple mid-contour control that scoops the mids to tame any harshness and find the sweet spot in any PA system. It’s a beautifully simple system that just works, letting you focus on the music, not on tweaking knobs.

- In business since 1976! Moore Music has been a premier brick-and-mortar guitar shop in Evansville, Indiana since shortly after opening in 1976. Founder, Pat Moore, instilled in his business the concept of old-school service that we build upon today. When the current owner, Brett Mulzer, took the store online as Moore Guitars in 2013, we quickly developed a reputation for honesty and integrity in all our interactions with our customers. That’s a prime reason why we’re the fastest-growing online guitar shop.

- Old School Customer Service: Nothing is more important than helping a customer even if we don’t make a sale. We believe that if we’re honest with you, and treat you right, you’ll be back. Call us, or chat with us online. We love talking about guitars, and we want to help you find your perfect instrument. Even if it’s not from us.... but we think it will be!

- Our sales staff are all musicians! What’s more important than communication? We speak your language. Whether you’re a beginner or a professional player, we’ve been in your shoes. A lot of aspects of the guitar are intangible, and a non-player just can’t understand. It’s a guitar thing. But we can talk about tone and feel in the same language you use. We know what it means to love an instrument, and we want to help you find your new love.
