Taylor Next Generation Builder's Edition 324ce Acoustic Electric Guitar - Shaded Edgeburst

Acoustic-electric Guitar with Mahogany Top, Sapele Back and Sides, Mahogany Neck, and Ebony Fingerboard - Shaded Edgeburst

Sadek Music, the Taylor Next Generation Builder’s Edition 324ce is engineered for optimal comfort and playability, taking the standard 324ce formula to the next level with chamfered edges, a beveled cutaway, and a sleek armrest. This stage-ready acoustic-electric maintains Taylor’s all-hardwood composition, pairing a warm neotropical mahogany top with sapele back and sides for a sound that blends warmth with a touch of treble snap. Scalloped V-Class bracing enhances the Grand Auditorium’s low-end depth and responsiveness, while preserving the bracing system’s signature balance and projection. For amplified performance, Taylor’s Claria under-saddle pickup system delivers plug-and-play convenience, complemented by soundhole-mounted Volume, Tone, and Mid-Contour controls. Playability is elevated through the ebony-capped mahogany Standard Carve neck and Taylor’s Action Control Neck system, allowing easy adjustments to neck angle and action while enhancing resonance. Luxurious in feel and lush in tone, the Next Generation Builder’s Edition 324ce is ready to be your go-to acoustic-electric, now available at Sadek Music.

Plug-and-play Claria System electronics

Road-tested and refined for over two years with the world's biggest touring acts, Taylor’s Claria System represents the next step in the brand’s ceaseless pursuit of acoustic-electric excellence. As opposed to the more sensitive and microphone-like performance of Taylor’s ES2, the Claria System features a single under-saddle piezo transducer paired with a powerhouse preamp to supply you with the warmest, most accurate acoustic-electric tone possible with the least amount of tweaking required — simply plug in, adjust your sound to taste via the Volume, Tone, and Mid-Contour controls, and you’re ready to go.

Rich and responsive Scalloped V-Class bracing

First launched in 2018, Taylor’s V-Class bracing revolutionized the brand’s sound with one of the most innovative advancements in steel-string technology in nearly a century. Here, Taylor has changed the game once again, tweaking the forward-thinking formula of V-Class by precisely paring away material from key locations of each brace.

Grand Auditorium body style delivers a full sound and sleek look

 Acoustic players all over the world — including many here at Sadek music — routinely reach for Taylor Grand Auditorium guitars like the 324ce. This guitar boasts a comfortable waist, a full range of sounds, sharp definition, and a sleek appearance, making it an excellent intermediate option for fingerpickers and singer/songwriters alike. With this level of prestige, it's no wonder so many players depend on its rich sounds and smooth playing, set after set.
