Discover unmatched playability and tone with the Taylor 324ce Builder’s Edition Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Shaded Edgeburst, available at Irvine Art and Music. This Grand Auditorium guitar is crafted for musicians who seek superior sound and comfort, featuring responsibly sourced Urban Ash back and sides, along with a solid mahogany top. Urban Ash, sourced from Shamel ash trees in Southern California, delivers a warm, woody sound, similar to high-grade mahogany, with minimal overtones and a strong focus on the fundamental notes. The mahogany top adds a touch of natural compression, balancing the frequency spectrum and creating a remarkably rich tonal experience.

The Builder’s Edition offers exceptional comfort with a beveled armrest, chamfered edges, and a Venetian cutaway, making it effortless to reach the higher frets. The Silent Satin finish reduces incidental noise, ensuring a smooth playing experience both on stage and in the studio. Whether you’re strumming, fingerpicking, or flatpicking, the 324ce’s V-Class bracing enhances both sustain and volume, while also improving intonation. Equipped with Taylor’s ES2 electronics, this guitar provides clear, authentic sound when amplified, making it perfect for live performances or recording sessions.
