The Taylor Builder's Edition 324ce is another stunning guitar from the Builder's Edition ranks. It features an Urban Ash/Mahogany body and a host of premium appointments, including a bevelled armrest and cutaway, chamfered body edges and gold Gotoh tuners.
Staying true to Taylor's commitment to utilizing sustainable sources, the Builder's Edition 324ce has a body built from Urban Ash (for the back and sides) paired with a Tropical Mahogany top. The Urban Ash has been responsibly sourced from trees that were in need of removal within areas of Southern California. Sonically, Urban Ash has similar qualities to mahogany, koa and blackwood, and when paired with the mahogany top and Taylor's V-Class bracing, delivers a guitar with strong fundamentals, a good midrange presence, and with plenty of focus and clarity.
Taylor have treated the 324ce to a "Silent Satin" finish, with a Dark Roast stain set off with their Shaded Edgeburst which runs around the entire body and along the neck.
Being a Builder's Edition model, the body of the 324ce model also has some added standout appointments. For the ultimate in player comfort, the body has a bevelled armrest and cutaway, in addition to chamfered edges round the body. A Curvy Wing bridge also features.
Married to the body is a satin finished Tropical mahogany neck that hosts a West African ebony fingerboard set with Compass, Italian Acrylic inlays and 20 frets. The fretboard edges also have chamfered edges, adding to the guitars premium feel.
The Builder's Edition 324ce comes fitted with Taylor's Expression System 2 electronics system. At the heart of the system is Taylor's behind the saddle pickup, which features three uniquely placed pickup sensors that in conjunction Taylor's custom designed professional audio grade preamp conveys the voice of the acoustic guitar whilst capturing more of the guitar's dynamic properties. Controls couldn't be simpler - volume, bass and treble.
Other appointments include Gotoh 510 gold tuners, a Tusq nut and factory fitted Elixir Phosphor Bronze strings.
The guitar comes complete with a Taylor Deluxe Hardshell case.
