Taylor 412ce Grand Concert Acoustic-Electric Guitar Tobacco Sunburst

The Taylor 412ce Grand Concert acoustic-electric signifies a bridge between everyday musical utility and top-tier craftsmanship. The tone of the 412ce is bold and dynamic with a rustic vibe that complements the tonal warmth and lush overtone of the rosewood/spruce wood pairing. The Grand Concert body shape is slightly smaller than the Grand Auditorium and yields-controlled overtones, which is often a key consideration when other instruments are in the mix, such as in a live performance or recording environment. Its intimate size makes it lap/couch-friendly and a great fit for players who find smaller instruments more physically comfortable. With the bridge's position near the center of the lower bout, Taylor's Grand Concert guitars are easy to play and have a surprising amount of tonal power and midrange warmth. Aside from feeling great in your hands, the Expression System 2 electronics sound great as well. The heart of the Expression System 2 is Taylor’s patented behind-the-saddle pickup, which features three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors. Combined with Taylor’s custom-designed “professional audio”-grade preamp, this system produces exceptional amplified tone and responsiveness. Whether you plug into a PA, your favorite acoustic amplifier or direct into recording software, the Expression System 2 faithfully conveys the voice of your Taylor guitar. If you want to adjust your sound, you can color it with easy-to-use volume, and active bass and treble controls. The Taylor Expression System 2 is powered by a proprietary 9-volt battery compartment.
