Description
The Taylor Guitars 312ce V-class Grand Concert acoustic-electric guitar is a revolutionary instrument that shatters expectations of what an acoustic guitar can be. Featuring Taylor's groundbreaking V-class bracing, the 312ce pumps out robust volume and ringing sustain while largely eliminating the intonation issues that have long plagued acoustic guitars. The smaller Grand Concert body and tapered waist provide a comfortable playing experience and a balanced, focused tone ideal for fingerstyle and recording applications.
V-Class Bracing Unlocks New Potential
Taylor's innovative V-class bracing is a complete reimagining of acoustic guitar design. It creates notes that sound purer, ring louder and sustain longer without the sour or choked tones found in traditionally braced guitars. The 312ce's fretboard comes into greater alignment, resulting in chords that bloom and decay with a natural harmony. Whether playing acoustically or plugged in, V-class bracing helps the 312ce sing with a clarity and responsiveness not found in other acoustic guitars.
Premium Tonewoods Built-to-Last
The 312ce pairs a Sitka spruce top with sapele back and sides, a tonewood combination that yields a balanced sound suitable for any playing style. As the guitar ages, these all-solid tonewoods open up to reveal richer overtones and a more complex voice. Taylor's impeccable craftsmanship and eco-friendly construction methods ensure this guitar will provide a lifetime of musical enjoyment.
Plug in and Stand Out
Taylor's ES2 electronics seamlessly amplify the 312ce's acoustic properties with stunning realism. Featuring an integrated pickup system and preamp with intuitive controls, the ES2 allows players to sculpt their amplified tone to suit any musical situation. Whether on stage, in the studio or at home, the 312ce cuts through the mix with the clarity and nuance that have made Taylor guitars famous.
Superior Playability and Portability
The 312ce's compact Grand Concert body provides comfortable playability and portability unequaled in larger-bodied guitars. Its shorter scale length and lighter string tension facilitate easy fretting, ideal for new players or anyone seeking a portable, user-friendly instrument. A stylish gig bag is included for safe transport and storage.
