Discover refined tone and modern comfort with the Taylor Next Generation Builder’s Edition 324ce Acoustic-Electric Guitar in Shaded Edgeburst, available at Irvine Art and Music. Built on Taylor’s Grand Auditorium body, this all-mahogany-top instrument pairs warm, woody tone with thoughtful ergonomic touches that make longer playing sessions more comfortable.

Tonewood and Bracing Built for Depth

A solid mahogany top pairs with solid sapele back and sides for a tone that leans warm with a focused midrange. Taylor’s scalloped V-Class bracing adds sustain and intonation accuracy across the fretboard, giving both chords and single notes more clarity and projection.

Comfort-Focused Design

Chamfered edges replace traditional body binding, while a beveled cutaway and an integrated armrest ease the strain of long practice sessions and gigs. The mahogany neck uses Taylor’s Standard Carve profile along with its Action Control Neck system, which allows string height to be fine-tuned without a full neck reset.

Electronics Ready for the Stage

Taylor’s Claria Acoustic Pickup System pairs an under-saddle piezo pickup with onboard Volume, Tone, and Mid-Contour controls mounted at the soundhole, giving players an amplified voice that stays close to the instrument’s natural acoustic character.
