Description
The Taylor 212ce Plus Grand Concert left-handed acoustic-electric guitar brings Taylor's acclaimed build quality and electronics to southpaw players. With a torrefied sitka spruce top and layered rosewood back and sides, it generates a balanced and nuanced tone perfect for intricate fingerstyle playing. The slim neck and ebony fingerboard offer buttery smooth playability across the fingerboard, while the onboard ES2 pickup system accurately captures those rich natural acoustic tones. Handcrafted in Mexico yet held to Taylor's exacting standards, the 212ce Plus is a responsive, resonant and amplifiable lefty guitar for discerning players.
Dynamic Tone and Sustain With a Torrefied Sitka Spruce Top
The torrefied sitka spruce top of the 212ce Plus increases its dynamic range, balance and projection. You'll hear more complexity and character in every strum, with longer sustain and improved pitch accuracy. The notes have extra punch and definition to bring out melodies, arpeggios and chord voicings. Whether you're playing complex solo passages or accompanying a singer, the 212ce Plus projects with focus and balance so every subtlety shines through.
Robust Rosewood Layers, More Stable Than Solid Wood
The back and sides use layered rosewood for rock-solid stability that makes the 212ce Plus perfect for performing and recording. The layers resist cracking and warping from changes in temperature and humidity, retaining their integrity show after show. Tonally, the rosewood provides a lush, deep voice that complements the crystalline highs of the torrefied spruce top. The combination offers the complexity demanded by advanced fingerstyle players.
Natural Acoustic Amplification With Taylor's ES2 Pickup System
Taylor's patented ES2 pickup system accurately captures the 212ce Plus's rich acoustic tone with the help of three calibrated pickup sensors. It conveys the natural voice and dynamics of the guitar, letting your playing shine whether on stage or in the studio. The easy-access volume, bass and treble controls help you dial in just the right tone, while the onboard tuner makes on-the-fly adjustments quick and easy. Plug in and enjoy the same responsive, nuanced tone that makes the 212ce Plus so rewarding unplugged.
Slim Neck Profile and Ebony Fingerboard for Smooth Playability
The 212ce Plus lefty has Taylor's comfortable, slim neck profile paired with a genuine ebony fingerboard for an exceptionally smooth feel. Ebony's hardness brings out crisp articulation and powerful sustain. Combined with the ergonomic neck shape, it offers easy, fatigue-free access across the 20 frets. The compact Grand Concert body is ideal for smaller-handed players too, making the 212ce Plus a versatile and accessible lefty acoustic.
