212ce

With its compact Grand Concert body and solid-wood top, the 212ce offers a remarkably comfortable, accommodating experience for players of all skill levels. Layered walnut back and sides and a solid torrefied spruce top generate plenty of projection for any musical application, with Taylor's special roasting process adding a touch of aged-in warmth and sweetness. The slightly shorter scale length of the Grand Concert shape, paired with the slender Taylor neck profile, make for a relaxed, intimate feel that's especially inviting to fingerstyle players while still offering enough power for flatpickers and strummers. And with the built-in ES2 electronics, you're guaranteed clear, faithful tone whenever you need to plug in.

Features

• A smaller-bodied guitar ideally suited for fingerstyle.
• Layered Walnut Back & Sides: Walnut’s crisp highs are balanced by a deep, woody low end that emerges as the guitar is played in.
• Torrefied Spruce Top: Treated with Taylor's special roasting process, torrefied spruce tops deliver all the clarity, balance and projection you’d expect from a traditional spruce top with an extra dash of warmth and played-in depth.
• Expression System 2 Electronics: The Expression System 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.
• Venetian Cutaway:  The Venetian cutaway is known for its soft, round lines. The sloping peak of the cutaway will vary depending on the shape of the body.
