The Taylor 322ce Grand Concert acoustic-electric guitar provides serious musicians with a balanced, articulate tone in an intimate size. Inside its compact Grand Concert body, innovative V-Class bracing delivers robust volume, ringing sustain and precise intonation for the ultimate in musical performance. When plugged in, the Expression System 2 electronics faithfully convey your acoustic sound with stunning clarity. Whether recording in the studio or performing on stage, the 322ce Grand Concert is a versatile, all-solid-wood guitar that will inspire your creativity for years to come.

All-Mahogany Construction Delivers Powerful Midrange

The 322ce's back, sides and top are all crafted from resonant mahogany, yielding a focused midrange tone with piano-like bass and crisp treble notes. Mahogany's dry, woody qualities produce a driving tone that cuts through when recording or performing with other instruments. Yet this hardwood also has a natural compression that smooths out your picking technique. Whether fingerpicking or flatpicking, mahogany helps your playing shine through with articulate expression.

Grand Concert Body Offers Control and Comfort

The 322ce's compact Grand Concert body is ideal for recording, fingerstyle and comfortable playing. Its smaller size helps rein in overtones for a focused tone that won't overpower other instruments in a mix. Yet the Grand Concert voice remains full, balanced and versatile. Neck-to-body construction also provides exceptional access to the upper frets. Whether on stage, in a studio or in your home, the 322ce's intimate shape makes it a pleasure to play for extended periods.

Plug in with the Expression System 2

When it's time to plug in, Taylor's Expression System 2 electronics capture your acoustic tone with stunning realism. This innovative system uses pickup sensors behind the saddle to detect string vibrations, resulting in an authentic amplified sound. Onboard bass, midrange and treble controls provide flexible tone shaping, allowing you to dial in the perfect mix for any performance or recording situation. The Expression System 2 gives you a vibrant, full-range Taylor tone at high volume that will inspire your creativity.

V-Class Bracing Unlocks the Taylor Tone

Taylor's groundbreaking V-Class bracing takes the 322ce's tone and playability to new heights. This advanced architecture boosts volume and sustain while eliminating the intonation issues that can plague traditional bracing. The result is a musical, in-tune guitar with notes that sound purer and resonate evenly all over the fingerboard. V-Class bracing makes the 322ce incredibly responsive, with clear, balanced tone that rings through in every register. When you play, you'll notice how the V-Class design helps each note bloom fully before gently decaying into silence.
