Description
The Taylor 322e 12-fret Grand Concert acoustic-electric is designed for playability, intonation and tone with everything you need in a fantastic sounding and playing instrument. Taylor's grand concert body design is slightly smaller that its Grand Auditorium and yields controlled overtones, so the sound won't occupy a lot of sonic space. This is often a key consideration when other instruments are in the mix, such as in a performance or recording environment. The grand concert pairs well with a 12-fret neck-to-body construction, and offers an articulate voice with top-end chime.
Pairing a 12-fret neck design with a cutaway body blends the unique response from the bridge sitting back a little farther on the lower bout with ample accessibility to the upper register. As to the slotted headstock, the angle of the strings as they bend over the nut is a little more acute, which puts a little more downward pressure on the nut. To your fretting hand, it'll feel a little more precise and better behaved as you fret near the nut; notes don't want to bend as easily closer to the nut.
The 322e is also equipped with the Expression System 2, Taylor's revolutionary pickup design. The behind-the-saddle pickup features three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors. The location of the sensors enables a more dynamic range of acoustic sound to be captured than ever before while playing plugged-in. Together with Taylor’s custom-designed “professional audio”-grade preamp, this system produces exceptional amplified tone and responsiveness. On stage through a PA, plugged into your favorite acoustic amplifier or direct into recording software, the Expression System 2 faithfully conveys the voice of your Taylor guitar. The Taylor Expression System 2 operates through a proprietary 9-volt battery compartment and easy-to-use volume, and active bass and treble controls.
The 322e 12-fret grand concert comes in a deluxe hardshell case made by Taylor for optimal fit and protection.
