NGD. Taylor 12 fret slot head

[Cool555]

Congrats! This model had a lot of good reviews a couple of years back. I did try one at a guitar shop a few years ago and thought it was great! I just didn’t have the funds back then to buy one. The 322e is still a guitar that I may buy in the future.

I wish Taylor would put a nicer pickguard instead of just the plain black on this one. If not, just leave it unpasted and give customers the choice to NOT have a pickguard. Removing the pickguard is a bit troublesome and slightly risky.

Dave, what a beautiful 12 fret slot head! Let us know what you end up with strings on it, especially the alloy. Congrats and enjoy!

Nice! I had a 322ce 12 fret that I really enjoyed a while back. I love the burst they do on those. Congrats!

Congratulations on a great guitar. I've got a 522e that sounds heavenly and is my favorite guitar. My Martin CEO-7 is nipping at its heels, but the 12-fret Taylor is just so comfortable to play that I tend to pick it up by default.

I've also got a 322 14-fret that sounds fantastic too, but it sits in its case a lot since I got the 522e.

I hope you enjoy your new guitar for a long, long time.

Absolute gorgeous instrument Dave. Congrats man!

Nice score. The Taylor GC 12 frets are all special - love my 2015 712e 12-fret.

Congrats! That’s my favorite Taylor wood combo. Produces a very different tone than the typical Taylor “shimmer.” I had a 327e and it was warm, rich…even soulful. She really loved the Blues.
