Details

The Builder's Edition 912ce WHB is a Grand Concert acoustic-electric designed to Taylor's highest standards of craftmanship and playability, boasting back and sides of Indian rosewood paired with a Lutz spruce top. That tonewood combination generates a beautifully textured, articulate sound with warmth in the low end and sparkle in the treble range around slightly scooped mids. V-Class bracing serves up more power and sustain, and the compact body shape makes for a tonal clarity that's ideal for fingerstyle arrangements. Features include a beveled cutaway and armrest, chamfered body and fretboard edges, the noise-reducing Silent Satin finish and a dusky Wild Honey Burst color treatment. It ships with Taylor's ES2 pickup in a deluxe hardshell case.

FEATURES

• Grand Concert Body Shape: A smaller-bodied guitar ideally suited for fingerstyle.
  
• Indian Rosewood Back & Sides: The tonewood superstar. Popular, traditional, and versatile, Bob Taylor puts Indian rosewood among the greatest tonewoods ever.
  
• Lutz Spruce Top: This natural hybrid of Sitka and White spruce also shares characteristics with Adirondack spruce, responding with power, richness and volume.
  
• Expression System 2 Electronics: The Expression System 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.
  
• Beveled Cutaway: Taylor's beveled cutaway design provides a more player-friendly feel for guitarists who utilize every inch of the fretboard. It features a compound design with a smoothened edge along the corner of the body between the end of the cutaway and the neck heel, providing a more comfortable feel for the fretting hand. 
  
• 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.
