Taylor 322ce 12-Fret

The Taylor 322ce 12-Fret is an electro-acoustic guitar from the 300 series of the American Taylor brand, which represents high-quality all-massive instruments manufactured in El Cajon, California. The more compact Grand Concert body shape is sure to please guitarists who prefer fingerstyle playing or like to put the pick away from time to time.

The front of the guitar is made of solid tropical mahogany, while the back and sides are also made of solid Tasmanian blackwood. This combination gives the guitar a warm and dynamic response. In addition to the 12-fret neck-to-body connection at the 12th fret, the 12-fret model is also distinctive for moving the neck further away from the fingerboard, which results in a stronger soundboard response. The guitar's sonic qualities are elevated to a higher level by the patented V-Class ribbing, which increases the instrument's volume, extends sustain and improves intonation.

The mahogany neck is glued to an ebony fingerboard embellished with ornate inlays in the shape of small imitation mother-of-pearl diamonds. A rounded lower body cutout (Venetian) facilitates the touch on the higher positions of the fingerboard. The impressive look of the instrument is accentuated by the Shaded Edge Burst finish on the soundboard, classic Taylor open tuners, black body and fingerboard binding, ebony veneer on the headstock adorned with the company logo in imitation mother-of-pearl and a practical black pickguard.

The guitar is equipped with high-quality company electronics. The Taylor Expression System 2 uses three specially designed independent piezo pickups located behind the fingerboard. Unlike conventional pickups, they do not sense the up and down movement of the board, but the natural back and forth vibration of the fingerboard. This makes the sound much more natural, colourful and pleasing, and more responsive to the dynamics of your playing. At the same time, the new preamp makes the signal 25% stronger. Of course, feedback is eliminated and you can adjust the volume, bass and treble.

The instrument comes in a luxurious Taylor case.
