Overview
The Builders Edition 324ce is an all-solid-wood, U.S.-built model that offers the Builders Edition feature set at a more attractive price point. Refinements for 2026 make this amazing instrument more compelling than ever. The guitar starts with all solid woods consisting of sapele for the back and sides, and mahogany for the top. The mahogany top gives the guitar a aged, warm sound. The Grand Auditorium body shape is the most versatile body shape in the line up for Taylor. Whether you're a fingerstyle player or strummer, the Grand Auditorium body shape covers the most ground. Introduced to this model for 2026 are three major, game-changing innovations.
Action Control Neck. A long tenon neck joint design that not only improves tone and sustain but allows a qualified technician to adjust the neck angle in seconds with the strings still on and the guitar under tension. The result? The ability to set up the guitar for individual playing styles like never before.
Scalloped V Class Bracing. With changes to the internal architecture, the guitar now brings more low end and bloom to the table while embracing all sustain and intonation benefits of the original V Class bracing system.
And finally, the Claria pick up system, a revolutionary active pick up system that redefines acoustic amplified tone with a proprietary high definition, active high fidelity preamp and under-the-saddle pickup system. Simply put, the most plug-and-play pickup system with volume, tone, and contour shaping… read more soundhole controls to achieve the ultimate amplified acoustic sound. The Next Generation Builders Edition 324ce features an understated satin finish on the body with a beautiful tobacco kona burst, weathervane fretboard and peghead inlays, venetian cutaway, beveled armrest/cutaway, chamfered edge treatment, Taylor satin black tuning machines, and ships in a deluxe hard shell case.
