Taylor 322e 12-Fret V-Class Bracing (1204212050)

Combining the compact footprint of Taylor’s Grand Concert body shape with a 12-fret-to-neck configuration that lowers string tension, the 322e 12-Fret offers remarkable playing comfort matched by a bold musical character. This model generates a punchy midrange response with warm lows and strong focus on the fundamental note, minimizing overtones while providing tonal definition that’s great for fingerstyle players. All-solid Tasmanian blackwood and mahogany take a boost from the V-Class bracing inside, which dials up the sound with louder volume and longer-lasting sustain. It adds up to a distinctive voice that plays well with other musicians and performs beautifully in recording situations.

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.
  
• 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.
