On the hunt for an ambitious and assertive acoustic-electric? Taylor’s 326ce powerhouse combines classic Grand Symphony projection with new additions like V-Class bracing and a hybrid Florentine cutaway with a soundhole for an acoustic guitar that’s potent, dynamic, and versatile all at once. With a full mahogany build and a 20-fret ebony fingerboard, strummed chords shine with full-bodied clarity, yet also clean up nice when fingerpicking thanks to excellent balance and response enhanced by V-Class technology. Expect chunky midrange, warm lows, and balanced highs that sound great either acoustic or plugged-in via the onboard ES2 electronics. The players on the hunt for supersized Taylor voice look no further than the 326ce!
A Grand Symphony of charisma
Taylor’s assertive Grand Symphony shape first entered the scene in 2006 as the Grand Auditorium’s turbo-charged big sibling. The Grand Symphony beefs up Grand Auditorium’s size with a larger profile, wider waist, and bigger lower bout but retains the balance and comfort tat made the Grand Auditorium such a success. The result is a bold Taylor guitar with enhanced volume, projection, and sustain that’s ideal for strong players from strummers to flatpickers. Recently revoiced in 2020, today’s Grand Symphony shape combines cutting edge V-Class bracing with an innovative soundhole for surround-sound projection that’s unmatched in the acoustic world.
