Description
The Taylor 212ce Plus Grand Concert acoustic-electric guitar delivers impressive sound and versatility. With the ES2 pickup system, it produces a natural, balanced amplified tone. The torrefied sitka spruce top enhances sustain and projection, while the slim mahogany neck offers comfortable playability. Perfect for guitarists who need amplified acoustic sound both on stage and in the studio.
Natural Amplified Tone With the ES2 Pickup System
The ES2 pickup system accurately captures the 212ce Plus's impressive acoustic tone and dynamics. It features three strategically positioned and calibrated pickup sensors that detect the guitar's vibrant resonance without restricting vibration. This allows the 212ce Plus to deliver exceptional amplified tone that retains the nuances of the all-mahogany body and solid torrefied spruce top. The easy-to-use preamp gives you control over volume, bass and treble for dialing in your ideal amplified sound.
Increased Sustain and Projection With a Torrefied Spruce Top
The 212ce Plus has a solid torrefied Sitka spruce top, a specialized treatment that improves the wood's resonance and durability. By enhancing the cellular structure of the spruce, torrefaction increases note separation, articulation and focus. You'll notice longer sustain, improved tuning stability and pronounced note attack. It also helps provide a balanced tone across the tonal spectrum. The torrefied spruce top allows the 212ce Plus to project with authority in performance settings.
Slim Mahogany Neck for Comfortable Playability
The 212ce Plus features a slim-profile mahogany neck that feels smooth and inviting in your hands. Its sleek proportions and satin finish lend a comfortable, fast-playing feel. The shorter 24 7/8" scale length reduces string tension, making it an accessible option for players with smaller hands. Combined with the hand-friendly 15" fingerboard radius, the 212ce Plus's neck design provides hours of fatigue-free playing. Ebony fingerboard and bridge further enhance resonance and sustain.
Acoustic-Electric Versatility for Stage and Studio
With its impressive unplugged sound and excellent amplified tone, the 212ce Plus excels both on stage and in the studio. The ES2 pickup captures the nuance and dynamics of your playing, translating it into pristine direct signal perfect for mixing and recording applications. And the guitar projects beautifully when plugged into a PA system or acoustic amp. The included gig bag provides safe, convenient transport between venues and sessions. Experience the acoustic-electric versatility of the Taylor 212ce Plus.
