Hello all! I've just acquired a beautiful 320e Hog/Sapele. Gorgeous tone and is quite the chameleon too: Can pump out some bass-heavy blue grass to lovely, almost classical sounding finger-picked lines. I'm impressed (I guess that's why I bought it). I kept comparing it to a Martin D-28 that was hanging on the wall near by and it kept up with it well. The Martin was a little bit easier to play, but volume-wise the Taylor pretty much kept up, even though the Martin was selling for twice the cost.
Regarding tone, it's often assumed that b/c it's a Taylor, the bass won't be as full, but with this guitar, at least, it was very nice and the mahogany gives it a richer/darker tone, which I like.
I have had a Big Baby Taylor and a Jewel signature model (beautiful guit) in the past, but sold them both for financial reasons.
The only complaint I have is that the action is just a titch high, sitting about 1/64th above spec on the bass side. I'm going to bring it to our local authorized Taylor guitar tech and have him work his set-up magic on it and, hopefully, dial in the playability for me.
