Taylor 324ce Studio Special Edition Shaded Edge Burst Mahogany/Sapele

Overview

The Taylor 324ce Studio Special Edition pairs all-solid-wood construction with player-friendly appointments in Taylor’s versatile Grand Auditorium body shape. A solid mahogany top and solid sapele back and sides work with V-Class bracing to produce a warm, woody midrange response with strong volume, sustain, and fundamental focus. The mahogany top adds natural compression that helps smooth out a heavier attack while keeping overtones controlled.

Comfort is a major part of the 324ce Studio design, with chamfered body edges, a Venetian cutaway, and a slightly narrower 1-11/16" nut width. The Shaded Edge Burst top, Medium Brown Stain, three-ring rosette, faux-tortoiseshell pickguard, and gloss body finish give this special edition a distinctive look, while Taylor Expression System 2 electronics make it ready for amplified performance.
