Taylor 322e 12-Fret Grand Concert Acoustic-Electric Guitar Shaded Edge Burst

The Taylor 322e 12-Fret offers a versatile playing experience for guitarists seeking a balanced, articulate tone. Inside its compact Grand Concert body, Taylor's innovative V-Class bracing architecture boosts volume and sustain for notes that sing clearly across the ebony fingerboard. Perfect for intimate settings or recording, the 12-fret construction moves the bridge closer to the center of the lower bout for a tone with enhanced midrange and focused overtones. Whether fingerstyle or light strumming is your passion, the 322e 12-FT provides an acoustic voice ideal for any genre.

All-Solid Tonewoods Resonate with Depth

The 322e 12-Fret pairs a solid mahogany top with mahogany back and sides for a tone rich in fundamentals and a natural compression that smooths your technique. As the primary tone filter, the mahogany top adds warmth and resonance while controlling ringing overtones. This tonewood combination produces a balanced sound with punchy lows, broad mids and clear highs that record beautifully. Known for maturing with age, the all-solid tonewoods open up over time for a guitar-for-life.

Intonation Aligned for Musical Performance

Taylor's revolutionary V-Class bracing aligns your 322e 12-FT's intonation for notes that ring true all along the fingerboard. Essentially a sonic engine, V-Class bracing creates a more orderly response with notes that sound purer and do not cancel each other out. The result is improved tuning stability and a playing experience where every note sings in tune for a flawless performance.

Grand Concert Body Intimate and Articulate

The 322e 12-Fret Grand Concert body produces a focused voice perfect for intricate playing styles and recording. Slightly smaller than Taylor's Grand Auditorium, the Grand Concert's compact size tames overtones for a controlled sound in intimate settings. Its articulate response also allows your tone to be heard clearly when performing with other instruments. Supremely comfortable, the Grand Concert body cradles comfortably against your body for a lap-friendly guitar.

Appointments for Playability and Visual Appeal

Aesthetic touches like the shaded edgeburst finish, faux tortoiseshell pickguard and chrome tuners complement the 322e 12-Fret visual style. The slim mahogany neck provides a familiar feel with its 1.6875" nut width and 24.875" scale length. Your fingertips will glide smoothly along the ebony fingerboard thanks to its silky texture. With a guitar built for comfort and tone, the 322e 12-Fret inspires you to play for hours.
