The Taylor 322e 12-Fret left-handed Grand Concert acoustic-electric guitar offers left-handed musicians a comfortable, articulate instrument perfect for any playing style. Inside its compact Grand Concert body, Taylor's innovative V-Class bracing provides more volume and sustain. The tropical mahogany back and sides produce a focused midrange tone with crisp articulation across the ebony fingerboard. Finished in an edgeburst gloss, the 322e 12-Fret's aesthetics match its impressive tone and playability.

V-Class Bracing Unlocks the Guitar's Potential

Taylor's V-Class bracing is a breakthrough in acoustic design that boosts the 322e 12-Fret's responsiveness and resonance. V-Class bracing creates notes that ring clearly without muting each other, bringing the entire fingerboard into tune for an improved musical experience. The 322e 12-Fret's notes sound purer and more solid, allowing you to express your unique musical voice.

Tropical Mahogany Delivers a Clear Midrange Focus

The 322e 12-Fret's back and sides are constructed from tropical mahogany, a tonewood known for its articulate midrange and balanced overtones. Mahogany's natural compression smooths out your playing technique while highlighting the fundamentals. Its dry, earthy tone cuts through mixes, making the 322e 12-Fret ideal for performance and recording. The mahogany top further enhances articulation and note separation.

A Neck and Fingerboard Built for Comfort

The 322e 12-Fret's slim mahogany neck has an oval profile that feels familiar in your left hand. Its 15" radius ebony fingerboard facilitates smooth transitions along the neck. The fingerboard's hardness and moisture resistance keep your chords and melodies clear and in-tune. Overall, the neck's design minimizes fatigue for long playing sessions.

Plug in and Shape Your Tone

The 322e 12-Fret comes equipped with Taylor's Expression System 2 pickup, which conveys the natural acoustic sound. When plugged in, you can shape your tone with the control panel's bass, midrange, treble and volume controls. Play solo or blend in with a full band—the ES2 pickup accurately represents the 322e 12-Fret's tone when amplified. Capture your musical ideas anywhere with this guitar's built-in tuner.
