Taylor 324ce Next Generation

I was looking for a Taylor with a warmer, fuller sound, and after a few misses, the Taylor 324ce fit perfectly. It has the quality and clarity you'd expect from a Taylor, but with much more depth and a rich, woody character that isn't overly bright like many other Taylor models.

It's incredibly comfortable to play, even coming from a GS Mini Mahogany, and responds beautifully to both fingerpicking and strumming. I can strum as hard as I want without feeling like I've reached the guitar's acoustic limit, and the new pickup system offers plenty of customization when plugged in.

I busk regularly with this guitar, and it has no problem projecting across large market squares while still retaining its balanced tone.

The new Action Control Neck is a dream. I picked up a flex driver, which makes accessing the adjustment screw much easier. I can quickly dial in the action depending on whether I'm fingerpicking, strumming, or doing a bit of both.

The only thing I might have done differently is choose the Builder's Edition for the added comfort features and aesthetic touches.

Overall, I'm extremely pleased with my purchase and would highly recommend the Taylor 324ce Next Gen.
