Founded in 1974 by Bob Taylor and Kurt Listug, Taylor Guitars has grown rapidly since the 2000s thanks to its innovative ideas, high technical capabilities, and sophisticated marketing. Now a top acoustic brand in the world, it enjoys strong support from a wide range of users, from general consumers to professional musicians. This instrument is a used 2020 "Builder's Edition 324ce" from the Builder's Edition series, featuring "Urban Ash," a new wood adopted by Taylor as part of their nature conservation efforts, designed by Andy Powers, who is currently in charge of Taylor's basic design. Specifications include a tropical mahogany top, urban ash sides and back, tropical mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard and bridge, Gotoh 510 gold tuners, pearl element fingerboard inlays, Venetian cutaway, silent satin finish, and elbow contouring. It also features V-Class bracing and Expression System 2 (ES2). The Urban Ash wood used for the sides and back is a type of ash wood commonly used in electric guitars, but unlike the ash wood used in electric guitars, it is denser and heavier. The sound has a warm, woody impression and is characterized by a clear, well-defined fundamental tone. It has the midrange power and balance of high-quality mahogany, but with a warmth and responsiveness that is appealing, and it pairs well with the tropical mahogany used for the top, allowing you to play with the warmth of an all-mahogany guitar. It is also highly compatible with Taylor's most popular body shape, the Grand Auditorium, and is slightly larger than a typical triple-O size, making it easy to handle while still providing plenty of volume. Equipped with "V-Class bracing" developed by Taylor's master builder, Andy Powers, it dramatically improves volume and sustain control compared to guitars with conventional X-bracing. The dynamic range and pleasantly clear sustain allow for rich expression, which is also appealing. This guitar boasts a bracing pattern that delivers greater volume, longer sustain, and precise intonation, making it incredibly versatile. With a warm yet solid fundamental tone, it can produce a wide range of sounds, from bright to mellow, depending on your playing style. This is a guitar that truly embodies the Taylor sound. It features an Expression System 2 (ES2) pickup. Structurally, it's a piezo pickup, but instead of being mounted under the saddle as in previous models, it has three vertical piezo pickups mounted to the side of the saddle. This allows vibrations transmitted from the saddle to be output without being compressed. The controls are the familiar, simple Vol, Bass, and Treble configuration, making operation and sound shaping easy. It features a silent satin finish to reduce clothing rustling noises during recording, and has a very pleasant texture. It uses Gotoh 510 tuners, and the cutaway section has a bevel, ensuring extremely high precision in tuning and playability. There is a slight paint pull along the wood joint near the cutaway, but this is only a surface imperfection and does not affect performance. Aside from this, the guitar is in excellent condition with almost no signs of use. The neck and playability are also very good. Experience the Taylor sound and quality created by Andy Powers. An original hard case is included.
