Taylor Next Generation 324ce Shaded Edgeburst

Taylor Next Generation 324ce Shaded Edgeburst
Serial Number: 1205046009
Weight: 4.68 lbs.

The Taylor Next Generation 324ce in Shaded Edgeburst pairs a solid neo-tropical mahogany top with solid sapele back and sides for a warm, balanced voice with rich midrange focus — the mahogany soundboard's natural compression smooths out your attack while the sapele adds a hint of top-end shimmer. Taylor's comfortable Grand Auditorium body with Venetian cutaway keeps this 4.68 lbs. flattop equally at home fingerpicking on the couch or strumming on stage, and the full-gloss shaded edgeburst finish, black binding, firestripe-style pickguard, and new faux pearl Weathervane inlays give it a distinctly vintage-inspired look among modern Taylors.

What makes this Next Generation 324ce special is the trio of new Taylor innovations under the hood. Scalloped V-Class bracing with relief rout builds on the tonal balance, intonation accuracy, and projection of the original V-Class design while adding extra low-end emphasis. The long-tenon Action Control Neck lets you adjust string height quickly to match your playing style or adapt to seasonal changes — no trip to the tech required. And the onboard Claria pickup system with volume, bass, and treble controls delivers clear, stage-ready amplified tone that sits beautifully in a mix, making this an ideal gigging acoustic-electric for singer-songwriters and working performers.

The neo-tropical mahogany neck features Taylor's Standard profile with a smooth satin finish, West African Crelicam ebony fretboard and matching ebony fretboard binding, 15" radius, 20 frets, 25.5" scale length, and a fingerstyle-friendly 1.75" Black TUSQ nut. Smoked nickel Taylor tuners and a Crelicam ebony bridge with Micarta saddle round out the hardware. This Taylor 324ce Shaded Edgeburst ships in a deluxe Taylor hardshell case.
