Taylor 312CE 300 Series Grand Concert Acoustic/Electric Guitar with V-Class Bracing, ES2 Pickup and Hardshell Case

6-String | Sitka Spruce Top | Sapele Back and Sides | Tropical Mahogany Neck | West African Crelicam Ebony Fretboard | Expression System® 2 Electronics | Venetian Cutaway | Taylor Deluxe Hardshell Brown Case

Crafted at the intersection of solid-wood tone and workhorse utility, the 312ce generates a clear, punchy midrange response with a warm, woody character. With solid sapele back and sides and a Sitka spruce top, players can expect minimal overtones and a focus on the fundamental note, while our V-Class bracing serves up greater volume and longer sustain. The compact frame of the Grand Concert body shape makes for a comfortable, accommodating experience, and will especially appeal to fingerstyle players. The ES2 pickup provides natural-sounding amplified tone, making this a great guitar for virtually any musical application.

Grand Concert - A smaller-bodied guitar ideally suited for fingerstyle.

Sapele - One of the best all-around tonewoods there is, sapele will deliver for any playing style.

Sitka Spruce - The soundboard choice for most guitars, Sitka spruce produces a broad dynamic range and accommodates a versatile range of playing styles.

Expression System® 2 - The Expression System® 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.

Venetian Cutaway - The Venetian cutaway is known for its soft, round lines. The sloping peak of the cutaway will vary depending on the shape of the body.

V-Class Bracing - Our patented V-Class bracing is a revolutionary new pattern — a new sonic engine — that marks a major shift away from traditional steel-string bracing patterns.
