Description
Some instruments are better described as works of art, and the Taylor 912ce Builder��s Edition is no exception. Blending exquisite craftsmanship with premium appointments, Taylor Builder��s Editions exemplify the essence of what an acoustic guitar should be. The 912ce Builder��s Edition is made with deluxe tonewoods, player-friendly features and a revolutionary pickup design that combine to deliver one of the most showstopping guitars Taylor has ever produced. Featuring a striped sinker redwood and Honduran rosewood Grand Concert body, groundbreaking V-Class bracing, a neo-tropical mahogany neck and ES2 electronics, the 912ce Builder��s Edition is ready to be your daily player, whether you��re in your bedroom or on the stage.
Points for Originality
From its advent, players have found the Grand Concert body lends itself perfectly to both the performance and recording environment. It suits a range of playing styles like light fingerpicking and strumming, and yields controlled overtones that make it stand out in a mix without occupying unnecessary space. In addition to this versatility, the 912ce Builder��s Edition puts supreme playability and style in the hands of every musician with a beveled armrest and cutaway, chamfered body edges and a contoured Curve Wing bridge. Defining the sound of this guitar are lavish tonewoods that bring out a rich, unique sound, enveloping the listener in a world of sonic bliss. Gorgeous Honduran rosewood and striped sinker redwood give you the intricate response you expect from a Builder��s Edition Grand Concert Taylor, instantly recognizable from the first note.
Brace Yourself
A huge step forward in the world of acoustic guitar design, Taylor��s V-Class bracing marked an important evolution beyond traditional X-bracing. Optimizing the volume, tone and intonation of the 912ce Builder��s Edition, V-Class bracing creates pure, clear and more orderly notes that don��t cancel each other out. With a consistent response up and down its genuine West African ebony fretboard, the 912ce Builder��s Edition is a player��s dream, conveying every detail of your performance with reliable accuracy.
Easy Does It
If you��ve ever felt like you were in a fight with your guitar, where performing didn��t seem as effortless as it should, the 912ce Builder��s Edition is sure to be a delight. Its neo-tropical mahogany neck has a smooth satin finish, allowing your hands to glide and move about the genuine West African ebony fretboard with ease. The Venetian cutaway also lets you access the upper frets seamlessly, giving you a generous amount of space to play technically high up on the neck.
Amplify Your Style
Bridging the gap between old-world tone and modern playability, Taylor��s ES2 design is built to bring the 912ce��s beautiful sound to the masses. Taylor��s patented behind-the-saddle pickup features three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors. Since the bottom of the saddle comes in direct contact with the bridge, all the nuance of the guitar��s tone comes through with stunning clarity whether played acoustically or plugged in. Partnered with Taylor��s high-quality preamp, and active bass and treble controls, the ES2 system produces exemplary amplified tone and responsiveness.
Sometimes all the aspects of an instrument come together to create a truly luminous playing experience. With the 912ce Builder��s Edition, Taylor have given professional and aspiring musicians access to a guitar worthy of their every demand. From its intricate appointments to its innovative feature set, the 912ce Builder��s Edition comes ready to perform and inspire your songs for years to come.
