Crafting The Taylor 362ce V-Class

For the body on this amazing guitar, Taylor have opted to fit a Solid Tropical Mahogany Top piece to a Back and Sides carved from Tazmanian Blackwood.

These tonewoods, when combined with the Grand Concert-style body, results in a guitar that's ideal for players with a strong string attack that like guitars with a dry, earthy, lo-fi voice.

In addition to this, the smooth-playing Tropical Mahogany neck and Ebony fingeboard combine for a slinky handfeel, offering a super-comfortable playing experience every time you pick the guitar up.

V-Class Bracing

A ground-breaking new bracing design for acoustics, V-Class bracing transforms the way the guitar's top vibrates and dramatically enhancing the sound.

Marking a huge departure from traditional X-bracing, V-Class bracing produces notes that are louder, more in tune with each other and with greater sustain.

Using V-Class bracing, the guitar’s soundboard can be both incredible stiff and flexible at the same time, and results in increased volume and sustain while also improving intonation.

Expression System 2 Electronics

Using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design, the Expression System 2 beautifully captures the dynamic properties of the 362ce V-Class.

The revolutionary pickup design of the Taylor Expression System 2 delivers the latest in Taylor’s continuing innovation in the world of acoustic guitar amplification.

One secret to the ES2’s incredible performance is Taylor’s patented behind-the-saddle pickup which features three separately positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors.

This unique placement and specific calibration allows for an increased capture of the dynamic range from the guitar.

Combined with Taylor’s own custom-designed professional audio-grade preamp, you get an exceptional amplified tone with incredible response.

Whether you’re playing on stage through a PA, plugged into an acoustic amplifier or recording directly onto a computer; the Expression System 2 truly delivers the voice of your Taylor guitar.
