A left-handed acoustic-electric with V-Class bracing for fingerstyle tone and amplified versatility.
The Taylor 322ce 12-Fret Left-Handed Grand Concert Acoustic-Electric Guitar provides left-handed players with Taylor's innovative design and premium all-mahogany construction in an comfortable, articulate instrument. With its compact Grand Concert body shape, solid tropical mahogany top, back and sides and smooth mahogany neck, the 322ce 12-Fret Left-Handed delivers a balanced, focused tone with strong fundamentals and controlled overtones—perfect for precise fingerstyle playing or recording. V-Class bracing opens up the voice of this guitar, enhancing volume, sustain and intonation for a superior musical experience. On stage or in the studio, the ES2 acoustic electronics clearly convey the natural acoustic properties of this inspiring guitar.
All-Mahogany Body Resonates Warmth
The 322ce 12-Fret Left-Handed's all-mahogany construction produces a full, meaty tone with pronounced midrange and a natural compression that balances your attack. Mahogany's moderate density yields a warmer, woodier voice than typically associated with a smaller-bodied guitar. 12-fret construction moves the neck joint into the upper bout, freeing the lower bout to vibrate fully and generate additional low-end warmth. The mahogany top, back and sides couple synergistically to create an instrument with superior resonance and responsiveness.
V-Class Bracing Unlocks the Guitar's Potential
Taylor's revolutionary V-Class bracing opens up the voice of the 322ce 12-Fret Left-Handed, making its tone louder, richer and more consistent up and down the fingerboard. V-Class bracing improves volume, sustain and intonation issues inherent in traditional X-bracing. The bracing creates a "sonic engine" that optimizes the guitar's response, enabling purer, more orderly notes that align for a superior musical experience. V-Class bracing makes the 322ce 12-Fret Left-Handed quicker to tune and keeps it in tune better, with ringing harmonics and consistent tone in every register.
Play Comfortably and Naturally
The 322ce 12-Fret Left-Handed's compact body, 15" fingerboard radius and slim mahogany neck provide a comfortable feel for left-handed players. The shorter 24.875" scale length increases slinkiness for easy fretting, while the cutaway allows access to higher frets. The guitar's overall balance and ergonomics make it a pleasure to play seated or standing during long practice or performance sessions.
Plug in for Stage and Studio
The 322ce 12-Fret Left-Handed comes equipped with Taylor ES2 electronics for amplifying your acoustic tone. Featuring discreet low-profile controls, the ES2 pickup clearly and accurately conveys the natural acoustic properties of this guitar. It gives you a high-fidelity sound for performing on stage, recording in the studio or jamming with friends. Overall, the 322ce 12-Fret Left-Handed is an inspiring instrument with musicality, comfort and aesthetic appeal for left-handed players seeking an all-mahogany guitar.
