The Taylor Guitars 352ce V-Class Grand Concert 12-String acoustic-electric guitar is an innovative acoustic-electric combining Taylor's revolutionary V-Class bracing with their Expression System 2 pickup for an unparalleled musical experience. The solid Sitka spruce top and sapele back and sides produce a balanced tone with shimmering highs, warm mids and controlled lows that suits both fingerstyle and energetic strumming. The smaller Grand Concert body and 18-fret neck offer a comfortable playing feel for hours of practice or performance.

V-Class Bracing Unlocks the Guitar's Full Potential

Taylor's patented V-Class bracing boosts volume, sustain and intonation for notes that ring loud, long and true. Chords sound fuller, sweeter and more in tune up and down the fretboard so you can express yourself with confidence. The 352ce sings with a voice all its own that will only improve over time.

Plug in and Play with the Expression System 2

Taylor's revolutionary Expression System 2 pickup accurately captures the 352ce's complex tone for inspiring amplified performance. Three strategically placed sensors pick up the guitar's full range of dynamics and overtones, then a custom preamp with intuitive controls lets you shape your sound. Whether on stage or recording, the Expression System 2 faithfully conveys the unique voice of your Taylor guitar.

Built for Comfort and Playability

The smaller 18-fret neck and Grand Concert body are ergonomically designed for fingerstyle techniques and long practice sessions. The cutaway provides easy access to higher frets, while the 1 3⁄4" nut width feels familiar to most players. The 352ce invites you to sit back, relax and lose yourself in making music.

Premium Appointments and Details

The 352ce features elegant appointments like a satin-finish maple neck, Italian acrylic fretboard inlay and chrome tuning machines. It includes a deluxe hardshell case for safe transport and storage. With a limited lifetime warranty and Taylor's legendary dedication to quality, the 352ce is an acoustic-electric you'll enjoy for years to come.
