The 322nd 12-Fret should not be underestimated because of its small stature. With his blackwood back and sides this Taylor guitar creates a strong voice with a midrange focus and clear top-end. The mahogany top adds natural compression to create a round and complete sound across the range. With the 12-fret neck and the slightly shorter 24-7/8-inch scale length you have a great playing guitar. The acoustic guitar contains Taylor's ES2 electronics to enable amplified playing.
