Compact Mahogany Powerhouse For Players Who Live In The Details
If you love the feel of a smaller body but still want grown up tone, the Taylor 322ce hits that sweet spot. All mahogany, Grand Concert comfort, and V-Class bracing team up to turn every nuance of your touch into warm, punchy sound that just sits right in the mix.
All Mahogany Grand Concert Warmth And Focus
The 322ce is mahogany front to back. Neo-Tropical mahogany top, back, and sides give you a dry, punchy voice with a strong fundamental and minimal overtones. That means chords stay clear, melodies sit on top, and the guitar never gets boomy or muddy.
Taylor’s V-Class bracing is doing serious work under the hood. You get more volume, longer sustain, and cleaner harmony up the neck, so fingerpicked lines and complex voicings ring true without fighting each other. It is the kind of focus engineers love and players get hooked on.
Short Scale Comfort With An Intimate Feel
There is something special about the way a Grand Concert body sits against you. It tucks in close, feels almost like it is attached to your rib cage, and reacts instantly to your right hand. You do not have to dig in to be heard. You can whisper or lean in harder and the top responds right away.
The shorter 24-7/8 inch scale drops the string tension just enough to feel slinky and relaxed. Bends come easier, bar chords take less work, and long sessions are less of a workout. The standard carve mahogany neck feels familiar from the first chord so there is no learning curve, just you and the song.
Built To Translate Your Touch
This guitar is tailor made for fingerstyle, hybrid picking, and players who live on dynamics. The compact top and thinner depth mean your strumming or picking hand is directly in charge of the tone. Light touch gives you a soft, glassy bloom. Dig in and you get more bark and midrange push without harshness.
Because the voice is balanced and controlled, it records beautifully. Layered parts stack without turning into a wash of overtones. In a band setting, the focused mids help you sit in the track instead of fighting with bass and keys.
Stage Ready With ES2 Electronics
When you plug in, the Expression System 2 keeps that same character intact. The pickup sits behind the saddle so you get a more natural, airy acoustic sound instead of that quacky piezo thing everyone hates. It is responsive, touch sensitive, and takes EQ well if you need to tweak for the room.
Whether you are on a silent stage, running in-ears, or playing through a simple combo amp, the 322ce feels like your acoustic, just louder. No wrestling with feedback, no fighting to get heard.
Satin Feel, Subtle Looks, Serious Workhorse
The satin finish and medium stain give this guitar a low glare, working musician vibe that still looks classy under lights. The shaded edgeburst top, firestripe pickguard, and faux pearl Gemstone inlays add just enough flash without getting in the way of the job at hand.
West African Crelicam ebony on the fingerboard, bridge, and bridge pins keeps things slick under your fingers and adds a bit of snap to the attack. Black binding, black hardware, and the satin black Taylor tuners tie the whole look together.
Lightweight, Dialed In, Ready To Go
At around 4.3 pounds, this thing feels almost effortless on a strap or in your lap. It ships in a Taylor hard shell case so it is protected whether you are flying gigs or just hauling it to the studio across town.
