Taylor 324ce Builder's Edition Grand Auditorium Urban Ash/Mahogany Acoustic-Electric Guitar

Taylor 324ce Builder's Edition Grand Auditorium Urban Ash/Mahogany Acoustic-Electric Guitar 

Urban Ash, a never-before-used tonewood sourced from salvaged city trees that have been selected for removal from urban settings due to environmental concerns, property issues, construction, and other factors allows this beautiful, functional wood to end its life cycle in a landfill. The wood has been reclaimed for use in the backs and sides of this 324ce, offering a tonal response similar to high-tier mahogany: dry and woody, with a fundamental-strong response that produces clear notes largely free from ringing overtones. Paired with a mahogany top, this Grand Auditorium produces clear midrange presence and crisp highs over a rich low end that will satisfy strummers and fingerstyle players alike.

• Grand Auditorium Shape - Taylor's signature shape embodies the ultimate all-purpose acoustic.
• Tropical Mahogany Top Wood - The hardwood top produces strong fundamentals with clarity and focus.
• Urban Ash Body Wood - Sourced from city trees in need of removal, Urban Ash produces midrange power and balance comparable to Honduran mahogany.
• Expression System 2 Electronic System captures more of a guitar's dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.
• Beveled Cutaway - A smooth, double-contoured cutaway provides easy access to even the highest frets without changing hand positions.
• V-Class Bracing - A revolutionary design that balances the flexibility and stability of the top, V-Class bracing produces unmatched sustain, volume, and intonation.
