Seasoned Mahogany Warmth With Modern V-Class Power

The Taylor 327e V-Class takes that classic, broken in mahogany dreadnought vibe and tightens it up into a smooth, blended voice that feels like a favorite record from day one. The Grand Pacific body keeps the low end big but controlled, so you get warmth and depth without the woofy boom that can bury your vocals.

All solid tropical mahogany, Taylor V-Class bracing, and ES2 electronics make this a serious working player’s acoustic electric that can cover living room writing sessions, studio dates, and full band gigs without breaking a sweat.

Grand Pacific Shape With All Mahogany Soul

The Grand Pacific round shoulder dreadnought is Taylor’s spin on that classic slope shoulder feel, but with more balance and control. Solid tropical mahogany for the top, back, and sides gives you a dry, woody attack with focused mids and a strong fundamental that makes every note feel intentional.

Strum a big open chord and you get this warm, blended cloud of sound where the notes bloom together instead of fighting each other. Fingerpick and the individual notes pop with clarity while still sitting in a rich mahogany bed. It is the kind of tone that makes you want to keep playing after the song is over.

V-Class Bracing For Volume, Sustain, And Intonation

Taylor’s V-Class bracing is the secret weapon here. It lets the top move in a way that adds volume and sustain while keeping the guitar in tune with itself up and down the neck. Chords ring longer, notes bloom and hang, and those odd wolf tones you get on some acoustics are kept in check.

Real talk, you feel it in the way this guitar responds to touch. Play softly and it stays articulate and glassy. Dig in and it gets louder and more commanding without collapsing or getting harsh. Studio engineers love that kind of control, and so will your front of house engineer.

Shadow Edge Burst Finish And Dark Appointments

The Shadow Edge Burst treatment gives this 327e a dusky, moody look that matches the tone perfectly. Blackwood stain on the back and sides, a medium brown stain on the top and neck, and a shaded edge burst on the top all tie together with the black binding and black pickguard for a sleek, stage ready aesthetic.

The satin finish keeps everything feeling smooth and fast under your hands and lets the mahogany breathe. No sticky gloss on the back of the neck, no glare bomb under the lights, just a smooth satin feel that disappears while you play.

ES2 Electronics That Sound Like The Guitar, Not The Pickup

The ES2 system is one of the few onboard acoustic electronics setups that really captures the character of the guitar. The 327e’s woody mahogany warmth, midrange focus, and clear top end all translate naturally when you plug in, so you do not have to fight a quacky, plastic sound at the board.

Go straight into an acoustic amp, PA, or interface and you get a tone that sits in the mix with minimal EQ. It takes pedals and reverbs beautifully, so building ambient textures or worship pads is as easy as stepping on your favorite delay.

Deluxe Case, Pro Setup, And The Actual Guitar In The Photos

This 327e comes with Taylor’s Deluxe Hardshell case in the Western Floral pattern, so it is ready to travel right out of the box. It ships with phosphor bronze medium strings that really wake up the mahogany and make the V-Class top sing.

At Moore Guitars, every Taylor gets our full Player-Perfect setup before it leaves the shop. Our techs are all seasoned players, so they dial in intonation, action, and feel like they are setting up their own stage guitars. Pictures are of the actual guitar you are buying, and this one is serial number 1206072020 sitting in our Evansville, Indiana shop ready to ship.

The Lowdown

The Lowdown

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

The Grand Pacific is Taylor’s round-shoulder take on a dread, so you still get a big, full voice but with a more controlled low end and smoother overall blend. Traditional square-shoulder dreads can get boomy and boxy, especially when you dig in. The 327e stays warm and wide but keeps the lows tight, which means your vocals and other instruments are easier to hear in the mix. It also sits a little more comfortably against the body for longer sessions.
All-mahogany acoustics have a very specific thing they do: warm, dry, and focused. You get a strong, punchy fundamental with less overtone swirl than a spruce/rosewood combo. That makes the 327e great for singers, writers, and players who want their guitar to support the song instead of stealing the spotlight. Chords feel thick and supportive, while single notes still cut with a sweet, vocal midrange.
V-Class bracing changes how the top moves, so you get more volume and sustain while actually improving tuning stability and intonation. In real-world terms, chords ring longer and cleaner, notes bloom with more sustain, and those slightly sour intervals high up the neck feel way more in tune. It also gives the guitar a very touch-responsive feel, so dynamics feel more like an electric in how they respond to your hands.
The ES2 is designed to sound like the guitar, not like a piezo. On this 327e, you get the same woody warmth and midrange focus you hear acoustically, just louder. It takes EQ well, sits in a band mix without going harsh, and plays nicely with reverbs and delays. For most gigs you can go straight into the board or an acoustic amp and be very happy, no external preamp required.
Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.
This guitar is covered by our 72-Hour Love-It Guarantee. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.
If you order before 3 PM CST on a weekday, it ships the same day. We’ll get it into your hands fast with free, insured 2-3 day shipping.
