Taylor’s V-Class bracing lends extra power, sustain and sweetness to this non-cutaway 12-fret Grand Concert, broadening its musical range. Blackwood back and sides produce a strong voice – even in small-body GC – with a pleasing midrange focus and a splash of top-end shimmer, while the mahogany top adds a touch of natural compression to smooth out the response from top to bottom.

The combination of a 12-fret neck, slightly shorter 24-7/8-inch scale length, and a shifted bridge position (closer to the centre of the lower bout) produces a slinkier hand feel. This will make an excellent choice for players who crave the comfort of a compact frame. It also makes a great guitar for recording, and with the ES2 electronics, produces a clear, flavourful amplified sound. Distinctive aesthetic features include a shaded edgeburst top, all-satin finish, and small diamond inlays in Italian acrylic.

Mahogany is an all-time classic acoustic guitar tonewood for a reason, and the Taylor 322e serves up all the warmth, midrange focus and balance that players have come to love about this wood. Constructed with all-solid mahogany in our compact, accommodating Grand Concert body shape, the 322e’s dry, punchy voice remains consistent across the frequency spectrum, while the V-Class bracing inside enhances the volume, sustain and overall harmony between notes. Ideal for recording scenarios as well as live play, the 322e delivers a tight, articulate musical character that fingerstyle players—in addition to strummers and flatpickers—will especially love.
