Congrats on the 324!!!!!!
The 324 is amazing with the mahogany top and Tasmanian Blackwood back and sides. If you want a super dark, warm, chocolaty, Taylor this is THE one to get. It's very "Martin-ish" but with the nice Taylor note separation and Taylor playability. This guitar is super loud and booming. Did I mention that it's dark?

Thanks for all the kind comments! Even though I bought this brand new, it is a 2015 with Sapele back & sides. I've played the newer 320's too, with Blackwood, and they sound superb, but I think I'm slightly partial to the Sapele with the hog top. I also prefer the white rosette over the black, which is why I hunted for a shop that still had a 2015 version of this model. I actually found two shops with a 2015 that were offering me pretty much the same price. I ended up going with this one after I realized that according to the serial number, the guitar was made on my birthday - no kidding! Pretty cool!

Congrats on the new Taylor.
Just curious, but why did you swap the 320 for the GA. I'm just wondering because the Mahogany topped Taylors are on my radar. I'm a dreadnought guy and noticed you also have a rosewood Taylor DN. Did the 320 have a similar vibe to your 810? I can also see wanting a smaller size since you already have a dread. I know a mahogany top isn't going to be a big booming strummer like my Sitka/EIR dread so I'm debating on the 320 vs 324 if I went the mahogany top route. Just would like to hear your input on the two. Thanks and I hope you enjoy your 324.

Thanks for the reply. Those reasons certainly make sense.
Looks like you got three great Taylors.

Congrats on the nice Taylor! Now you got TWO winners in the area (since you're on the North Side, I'm kinda assuming you are pretty stoked about the Cubbies). I really like the 3xx series feel and sound, and the ones that have the short-scale are really fun to play. Your top is really nice, too! Great find. Enjoy.

I am thinking of getting a Taylor 324e. Can anyone shed some light on the tone? I have two 214ce guitars (BLK and SB) and a 310ce made in 2002, so am curious what a Mahogany top sounds like compared to Sitka Spruce.
Nice guitar, BTW! |

You'll probably get a better response starting a new thread, since this older NGD one won't get much new traffic, but as a noob who owns spruce, cedar and mahogany-topped guitars, I will say the mahogany's tonal range is compressed (not as high-highs, not as low-lows) and, though it can be used for anything, seems best suited for older-style bluesy music from the era when mahogany guitars were first used (early last century?). At least that's where they sound "normal" to me. I wouldn't necessarily have one as my only guitar, but plenty do, and they're happy. I love the sound and am glad I have the option. Yes, I'm selling one, but that's only because of the dread size - I already replaced it with a Taylor M522 that I like very much.

Thank you for the response. I am a strummer, a robust one at that! I find the 214ces a tad bright and shimmery. Not a BAD quality, I just want something slightly more mid range-y. Thanks again!
