Revolutionary sound from its very core
V-Class is here. And it's everything you've been looking for. Only featured on select models from Taylor. Classed as the 'new sonic-engine'. This brand new bracing pattern was designed by Andy Powers. Bracing a guitar is extremely important, and with Taylor, it's meticulous.
The V-Class bracing enhances the overall sound, and improves the 322ce's sonic performance. It also prevents the instrument from collapsing under string tension. Experience superior volume, sustain, and intonation. Due to V-Class bracing, notes are more in-tune with each other. Bringing you a truly beautiful sound that simply can't be replicated. And, in any position up and down the fingerboard, every note is true, full, consistent, and in complete harmony with each other.
