212CE
With a solid Sitka spruce top, layered rosewood back and sides, and an easy-playing Taylor neck, the 212ce offers an exceptionally comfortable playing experience paired with bold sound. Players will notice a clear, balanced response with an articulate character that's perfect for fingerstyle play and recording applications. A slightly narrower neck width means easy fretting, making this a great choice for players of all skill levels. Onboard ES2 electronics faithfully translate the 212ce's tone whenever you need to plug in and play. Traditional appointments and a structured gig bag for storage and transportation round out the package.
Grand Concert
One of the smaller body shapes in the Taylor family, with a slightly shorter scale length – the Grand Concert is easy to both wrap yourself around and press down on the frets, due to a lighter string tension – making it perfect for fingerstyle playing, young people just starting out and those with smaller hands / seeking a lighter touch. As at home in the studio as it is being with you on the road, the clarity of tone a Grand Concert guitar provides makes it perfect to layer with instruments in the mix where more dominating tones may struggle to slot into place. An extremely efficient design, the smaller body frame is inherently stronger, requiring less energy to encourage the soundboard to react - so you’ll find it surprisingly easy to set the strings in motion and really sing.
East Indian Rosewood
Rosewood's sheer breadth and presence across the tonal and dynamic spectrum has made it one of the most popular acoustic tonewoods of all time and a Taylor Guitars favorite. Its warm low end and high-register sparkle offer a pleasing blend of clarity and resonance, blooming with overtones as notes sustain. A slightly scooped midrange offers a perfect spot for vocals to slide in, making rosewood a popular tonewood choice for singer-songwriters.
Sitka Spruce
Sitka Spruce is the most commonly used wood for guitar tops. Sitka generates a broad dynamic range and accommodates numerous playing styles from aggressive strumming to fingerpicking. As a guitar soundboard, Sitka spruce is the tonewood standard of the modern era. It’s used on 85-90 percent of the guitars that Taylor makes. Its combination of strength and elasticity translates into a broad dynamic range, yielding crisp articulation and allowing for everything from aggressive strumming and flatpicking to fingerpicking.
ES-2 Pickup
If you need to amplify your sound, you'll love the revolutionary onboard ES2 pickup system. The 3 individual sensors located behind the saddle combine with the pro-grade preamp to deliver an unmatched dynamics, perfect for live or studio.
