Details

Crafted at the intersection of solid-wood tone and workhorse utility, the 312ce generates a clear, punchy midrange response with a warm, woody character. With solid sapele back and sides and a Sitka spruce top, players can expect minimal overtones and a focus on the fundamental note, while Taylor's V-Class bracing serves up greater volume and longer sustain. The compact frame of the Grand Concert body shape makes for a comfortable, accommodating experience, and will especially appeal to fingerstyle players. The ES2 pickup provides natural-sounding amplified tone, making this a great guitar for virtually any musical application. Subtle, yet stylish appointments such as the white binding, Gemstone fretboard inlays in Italian acrylic and firestripe pickguard round out the package, which ships with a deluxe hardshell case.

Features

Grand Concert Body Shape: A smaller-bodied guitar ideally suited for fingerstyle.

Sapele Back & Sides: One of the best all-around tonewoods there is, sapele will deliver for any playing style.

Sitka Spruce Top: The soundboard choice for most guitars, Sitka spruce produces a broad dynamic range and accommodates a versatile range of playing styles.

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.

V-Class Bracing: Taylor's patented V-Class bracing is a revolutionary new pattern - a new sonic engine - that marks a major shift away from traditional steel-string bracing patterns.
