Taylor 322e 12-fret  

Taylor

Taylor is an American company that was founded in 1974 when two boys bought an old hippie guitar shop. The boys were very passionate about guitars and put a lot of energy into the shop. Eventually, the shop evolved into an international company. All Taylor guitars today are made in either El Cajon in California or Tecate in Mexico. Taylor is very proud of this, because guitars that are produced close to headquarters go through a more thorough quality control process and employee satisfaction is better regulated. Taylor prioritises tone and comfort. All guitars are perfected and with modern luthier techniques the guitars can be made with more precision and consistency.

The 300 Series

The 300 series contains versatile guitars. There are two options within the series: guitars made of sapele and spruce and guitars made of blackwood and mahogany. All steel string guitars in the series have V-Class bracing, which will produce a louder volume and a longer sustain. Furthermore, the series has a large selection of guitar shapes and also 12-string and classical guitars. This makes the series very utilitarian.

The 322e

The 322e is a great guitar. The body has a solid mahogany top, back, and sides. This produces an articulated and bright sound. The guitar has a mahogany neck and an ebony fretboard. The guitar has a Grand Concert body, which is a comfortable shape that is a bit smaller than the Dreadnought. The neck is also a bit shorter which makes it more suitable for smaller or younger guitar players. Furthermore, the shape gives the guitar a nicely balanced sound. The guitar has ES2 electronics so the amplified sound will sound authentic.
