Description
The Taylor 324 Grand Auditorium models offer the balanced highs and supportive lows of the brand’s flagship, medium-sized body shape, fit for any playing style, with a modern feel and articulate response—while the all-mahogany body’s naturally compressed tone makes it perfect for singers. Plus, Taylor’s ES2 electronics provide ample tonal control and responsiveness.

300 Series
Taylor’s 300 series all-mahogany instruments offer players heightened touch sensitivity, plus more focused fundamental frequencies around the midrange to cut through the mix—providing a naturally compressed sound around the center of the EQ that’s ideal for a guitar player who sings and plays at the same time. 

The Grand Auditorium
The brand’s flagship body shape, the Taylor 324ce Grand Auditorium’s medium size offers balanced highs and supportive lows, making it a versatile choice that’s fit for nearly any playing style. Boasting bold, balanced tone, the Taylor 324ce Grand Auditorium provides vibrant, well-defined sound across the entire tonal spectrum, thanks to a more tapered waist than a traditional dreadnought, making the Taylor 324ce Grand Auditorium the Swiss Army Knife of the 300 series. 

V-Class Bracing
The Taylor 324ce Grand Auditorium features Taylor’s innovative new V-Class bracing, which lets the soundboard of the guitar vibrate naturally, increasing sustain and overall cohesiveness, and generating additional volume without sacrificing sustain. This design puts the body more in tune with the strings, improving articulation and harmonic alignment,  resulting in a sound that is optimally warm and seasoned, nicely blended, and full of luscious low end without being muddy. 

ES2
The Taylor Expression System 2 (ES2) delivers the latest technology in Taylor acoustic guitar amplification. The heart of the ES2 system is Taylor’s patented behind-the-saddle pickup, featuring three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors. The new positioning enables the piezo pickup’s crystals to respond more naturally to the guitar’s energy as it is transferred through the saddle, with three pickup sensors installed behind the saddle, through the bridge, with three tiny Allen screws that calibrate the position of the sensors in relation to the saddle. Together with Taylor’s custom-designed preamp, this ES2 system produces exceptional amplified tone and responsiveness.
