With its hardwood top and dusky aesthetics, the Next Generation 322ce offers up an enticing experience for players who love the woody sound of mahogany. This compact Grand Concert sports a solid mahogany top with back and sides of sapele, with our scalloped V-Class bracing under the hood. That combination adds up to a focused, dry midrange voice with controlled overtones and a touch of natural compression to smooth out an aggressive attack, along with an additional dash of low-end warmth and open-string resonance thanks to the lightweight internal architecture. The accommodating frame is complemented by our Action Control Neck, which features a long-tenon joint for improved bass-range presence and allows the player to adjust their action on the fly for the perfect feel.
This workhorse guitar is an ideal choice for fingerstyle but is also uniquelly expressive for strummers, and includes our Claria electronics for clear, reliable plugged-in sound in live performance scenarios. This model's dark visual character is accented with black binding and black/white top edge trim, a white rosette, Weathervane faux-pearl inlays, a firestripe pickguard, and a glossy body finish with a subtle shaded edgeburst top.
