V-Class Bracing Unlocks the Guitar's Potential

The notes sing with a clarity and intonation that brings out the mahogany's natural warmth. When playing, you'll notice how the V-Class bracing enhances the guitar's tonal response and playing dynamics.
All-Solid Mahogany Body and Neck
The 326ce's all-solid mahogany body and neck provide a balanced, focused tone. The mahogany top acts as a natural filter, shaping the guitar's voice with a strong midrange and controlled overtones. The mahogany back and sides enhance sustain and volume. The mahogany neck offers a comfortable standard profile for you. Overall, the all-solid mahogany construction gives the 326ce a mellow, woody character with the projection needed for live performance.
Soundport Cutaway Provides a New Dimension of Sound
The soundport cutaway enables a three-dimensional sound that immerses you as you play. It projects sound towards you as well as outward, surrounding you with the 326ce's mahogany tone. You'll appreciate how the soundport cutaway lets the sound bloom and provides a listening experience for audience members. The cutaway also gives you full access to higher frets for advanced techniques.
