Acoustic Guitars Taylor 322ce 12-Fret, V-Class Bracing (1201062070)

Players love Taylor’s 12-fret guitars for their relaxed feel and bold response, and the 322ce 12-Fret is no exception. The altered neck-to-body relationship and adjusted bridge position offers lower string tension for a slinkier fretting feel, and also helps the top generate a bit more midrange heft. With solid Tasmanian blackwood back & sides and a mahogany top, expect a woody, warm response with plenty of punch in the middle of the frequency range, with additional power and sustain delivered by the V-Class bracing under the hood. This model is especially good for playing through microphones and recording applications. It’s finished off with an alluring edgeburst treatment and sharp Gemstone inlays.

FEATURES

• Grand Concert Body Shape: A smaller-bodied guitar ideally suited for fingerstyle.
  
• Tasmanian Blackwood Back & Sides: Blackwood produces a strong volume, with a focused midrange and rich top-end shimmer.
  
• Tropical Mahogany Top: The hardwood top produces strong fundamentals with clarity and focus.
  
• Expression System 2 Electronics: The Expression System 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.
  
• Venetian Cutaway: The Venetian cutaway is known for its soft, round lines. The sloping peak of the cutaway will vary depending on the shape of the body.
  
• V-Class Bracing: Taylor’s patented V-Class bracing is a revolutionary new pattern – a new sonic engine – that marks a major shift away from traditional steel-string bracing patterns.
