Taylor 312ce 12-Fret

The Taylor 312ce 12-Fret is an electro-acoustic guitar from the 300 series of the American Taylor brand, which represents high-quality all-massive instruments manufactured in El Cajon, California. The more compact Grand Concert body shape is sure to please guitarists who prefer fingerstyle playing or like to put the pick away from time to time.

The front of the guitar is made of solid Sitka spruce, while the back and sides are also made of solid sapele, a wood with properties similar to rosewood. This combination gives the guitar a balanced balance of warmth and punch. In addition to the 12-fret neck-to-body connection at the 12th fret, the 12-fret model is also distinctive because the neck is moved further away from the fingerboard, which results in a stronger soundboard response. The guitar's sonic qualities are elevated to a higher level by the patented V-Class ribbing, which increases the instrument's volume, extends sustain and improves intonation.

The mahogany neck is glued to an ebony fingerboard embellished with ornate inlays in the shape of small imitation mother-of-pearl diamonds. A rounded lower body cutout (Venetian) facilitates the touch on the higher positions of the fingerboard. The stylish look of the instrument is accentuated by classic Taylor open tuning mechanisms, black body and fingerboard binding, ebony veneer on the headstock decorated with the company logo in imitation mother-of-pearl and a practical black pickguard.

The guitar is equipped with high-quality company electronics. The Taylor Expression System 2 uses three specially designed independent piezo pickups located behind the fingerboard. Unlike conventional pickups, they do not sense the up and down movement of the board, but the natural back and forth vibration of the fingerboard. This makes the sound much more natural, colourful and pleasing, and more responsive to the dynamics of your playing. At the same time, the new preamp makes the signal 25% stronger. Of course, feedback is eliminated and you can adjust the volume, bass and treble.

The instrument comes in a luxurious Taylor case.
