Description
The Taylor 324ce left-handed grand auditorium acoustic-electric guitar provides left-handed players with Taylor's signature playability and craftsmanship. Featuring a solid mahogany top, back and sides, this guitar serves up a remarkably balanced tone with a focused midrange and smooth attack. The grand auditorium body shape produces ample volume when fingerpicking yet remains balanced when strumming, making this an ideal guitar for any style. The Expression System 2 electronics faithfully amplify your acoustic tone for live performance. Overall, the 324ce gives left-handed players an all-solid-wood guitar with professional-grade electronics for under $3,000.
Solid Mahogany Construction Resonates Warmth
The 324ce's solid mahogany top, back and sides produce a warm, focused tone with a prominent midrange and balanced overtones. Mahogany's natural compression yields a smooth attack and rounded highs that record well in studio and cut through on stage. The hardwood top also develops a more complex tone over time, giving this guitar a sound that only improves with age. For left-handed players seeking an all-solid-wood Taylor at an accessible price, the 324ce delivers.
Shape and Neck Provide Familiar Comfort
Taylor's grand auditorium body and slender mahogany neck feel instantly familiar in your hands. The GA's contours nestle comfortably against your body, facilitating a natural playing position. A 15" radius ebony fingerboard and jumbo frets make fretting chords and single notes effortless. Whether you prefer to strum, pick or play fingerstyle, the 324ce's ergonomic design supports you through long practice sessions and performances.
Plug In and Amplify Your True Tone
Taylor's Expression System 2 reproduces the 324ce's acoustic properties with stunning accuracy. Three behind-the-saddle pickup sensors capture a dynamic range of tone, from the warmth of the bass strings to the shimmer of the treble strings. Taylor's custom preamp shapes the signal and allows you to adjust bass, treble and volume with the turn of a knob. On stage or in studio, the ES2 ensures your mahogany tone reaches the audience with clarity and nuance intact.
Premium Appointments for a Polished Look
The 324ce features premium appointments that enhance its visual appeal. A shaded edgeburst finish graces the top, back and sides, highlighting the grain. Black binding provides an understated complement, encircling the body, soundhole, fingerboard and headstock. The fingerboard inlays consist of Italian acrylic dots and satin-finished tuning machines with chrome buttons complete the polished look. Overall, the 324ce exhibits a sophisticated yet understated aesthetic that lets its tonewoods shine through.
