{"product_id":"taylor-322ce-next-generation","title":"Taylor 322ce Grand Concert Acoustic-Electric Guitar","description":"\u003ch1\u003eTaylor 322ce Grand Concert Acoustic-Electric Guitar\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Taylor 322ce is what happens when a company known for chime builds a guitar around warmth. A solid mahogany top in shaded edgeburst sits over solid neo-tropical mahogany back and sides, V-Class bracing organises the response, and the compact Grand Concert body keeps everything focused and controlled. It is the 300 Series instrument for fingerstyle players, recording guitarists and anyone whose ears lean vintage — and it ships in a genuine Taylor hardshell case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAll-mahogany, all intention\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardwood tops respond differently to spruce: the attack is rounder, the midrange is thicker, and notes bloom a beat later with a dry, woody character that flatters fingerpicking and old-school songcraft. With mahogany on the back and sides as well, the 322ce speaks with one voice top to bottom — focused, punchy and free of glare, wrapped in a shaded edgeburst that darkens to near-black at the edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eV-Class bracing underneath\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaylor's V-Class architecture stiffens the top along the strings' axis while leaving it free to move across it — more volume, longer sustain, and noticeably sweeter intonation as you play up the neck. On a small body it is transformative: the Grand Concert stops trading projection for comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA fingerstylist's playing field\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Grand Concert is Taylor's most intimate full-size shape, comfortable seated or standing, with a 24-7\/8\" scale that eases string tension for effortless fretting and expressive bends. The 1-3\/4\" nut opens up string spacing for clean fingerpicking, and the West African ebony fretboard runs matte-smooth under the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails that earn the 300-series badge\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is Taylor's solid-wood tier, and it shows: faux pearl Gemstone inlays on a black-bound ebony board, a matching Gemstone motif on the paddle headstock, black Tusq nut over a Micarta saddle, ebony bridge and pins, satin black Taylor tuners and a firestripe pickguard riding the burst. Black binding with a crisp white purfling line frames the whole instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCutaway, ES2 and the case in the boot\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Venetian cutaway opens the upper frets for melodic work, while Expression System 2 — three sensors behind the saddle reading the top's real movement — delivers a warm, natural amplified voice with volume and EQ dials on the upper shoulder. D'Addario XS coated phosphor bronze strings come fitted, and Taylor's plush-lined hardshell case is included. Set up in-store by Guitar World Australia's techs before it ships to you, so it plays perfectly the moment it arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTAYLOR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e322ce\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eSeries\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e300 Series\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eBody Shape\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrand Concert\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eNumber of Strings\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eCutaway\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVenetian\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eTop\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSolid mahogany\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eBack \u0026amp;
