Taylor 312ce 12-Fret Grand Concert Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural
Description
The Taylor 312ce Grand Concert acoustic-electric guitar provides a lifetime of musical enjoyment in an intimate, comfortable size. Designed for fingerstyle players and light strummers, the smaller Grand Concert body produces controlled overtones so each note rings through with articulate clarity. Solid Sitka spruce and solid sapele pair for a blend of crisp treble and midrange warmth ideal for studio and stage. With the innovative V-Class bracing and ES2 electronics, your tone comes through loud and clear.
Resonant Tonewoods
As you strum the first chord, you'll hear the 312ce's all-solid-wood construction. The Sitka spruce top and sapele back and sides resonate for balanced projection and sustain. The spruce top's stiffness and elasticity translate to broad dynamic range so your playing nuances come through. The sapele back and sides add midrange warmth and woody richness. Together, these tonewoods produce the complex overtones and harmonics that give Taylor guitars their signature sound.
Playability Enhanced by V-Class Bracing
Taylor's V-Class bracing takes the 312ce's musicality and playability to the next level. This innovative bracing boosts volume, sustain and intonation for notes that ring truer and longer. Chords sound more harmonious as notes are brought into alignment. The neck feels familiar and fast, with an easy-playing profile and ebony fingerboard. When you play, you'll notice how V-Class bracing enhances the 312ce's responsiveness and tuning stability.
Tone Control at Your Fingertips
Shape your acoustic tone with the 312ce's ES2 electronics. At the heart of Taylor's ongoing pickup innovation, the ES2 accurately conveys your guitar's voice. Adjust bass, midrange and treble to suit the venue or mix. A built-in tuner ensures you're in tune before stepping onstage. For acoustic purity, simply switch the ES2 off. The 312ce gives you options to craft your best amplified or acoustic tone.
Lifetime of Music in an Intimate Size
Whether recording at home or performing live, the Grand Concert 312ce is a guitar for all musical occasions. Its comfortable, compact size suits fingerstyle techniques, light strumming or all-out flatpicking. The short-scale neck offers buttery playability. While smaller in stature, the 312ce produces a bold voice that stands up in any mix. For lifelong musical enjoyment and inspiration, the Taylor 312ce Grand Concert acoustic-electric guitar belongs in your hands.
