Taylor 324ce Next Generation - Shaded Edgeburst with Hardshell Case

 

The Taylor 324ce Next Generation: Refined Innovation with Timeless Tone

Balanced Tone from Premium All-Solid Woods

The Taylor 324ce Next Generation pairs solid sapele back and sides with a neo-tropical mahogany top for a warm, focused tone that balances midrange punch with sparkling treble. This tonewood combo yields a smooth and articulate response ideal for dynamic strumming, intricate fingerstyle, or flatpicking. With its versatile Grand Auditorium shape and a Venetian cutaway for upper fret access, this model invites expressive playing across styles and genres.

Enhanced Performance Through V-Class and Long-Tenon Innovation

Scalloped V-Class bracing, boosts sustain, volume, and clarity while emphasizing low-end warmth. The proprietary long-tenon neck joint creates a deeper coupling between neck and body, enhancing resonance and tonal depth. This engineering mirrors the sonic benefits of vintage set-neck guitars while preserving the adjustability of modern bolt-on construction.

Instant Playability with Action Control Neck

Taylor’s innovative Action Control Neck system takes adjustability to the next level. Without removing the neck or even the strings, you can fine-tune string height to match your playing preferences and environmental shifts. Whether you're prepping for a high-octane gig or a low-action studio session, the 324ce adapts on the fly without tools or downtime.

Stage-Ready Sound with Claria Electronics

Equipped with Taylor's Claria System, the 324ce is built to shine in any amplified setting. Developed through collaboration with musicians and sound engineers, this pickup and preamp system delivers plug-and-play reliability and intuitive tone-shaping. Controls for Volume, Mid Contour, and Tone are discreetly mounted in the soundhole, offering quick access to a broad sonic palette.

Refined Aesthetics for the Modern Player

The 324ce is as visually compelling as it is sonically advanced. A shaded edgeburst top over a medium-stained body highlights the natural grain of the mahogany. Elegant touches like the firestripe pickguard, black binding, and Weathervane inlays in faux pearl bring subtle sophistication. The satin black tuners and satin neck finish complete the instrument’s modern yet organic character.
