Taylor 312ce 12-Fret Left-Handed Grand Concert Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural
Description
The Taylor 312ce 12-Fret Left-Handed Grand Concert acoustic-electric guitar provides left-handed players with Taylor's signature blend of playability, intonation and tone. Its compact Grand Concert body yields controlled overtones for articulate sound in any mix. The solid Sitka spruce top and sapele back and sides generate a balanced, nuanced tone with shimmering highs, warm lows and impressive sustain. The tropical mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard feel smooth and familiar under your fingers.
Articulate Tonewoods
The 312ce 12-Fret pairs a solid Sitka spruce top with solid sapele back and sides for a balanced tone with articulate highs and controlled bass. The spruce top helps notes bloom and ring out clearly with a crisp attack, while the sapele back and sides add midrange warmth and woody depth. Together, these tonewoods produce enough projection to be heard in a mix yet an intimate voice perfect for solo play.
V-Class Bracing Unlocks the Guitar's Potential
Taylor's revolutionary V-Class bracing optimizes the 312ce's response, boosting volume and sustain while resolving intonation issues. Notes ring clearly down the neck, with purer pitch that electronic tuners can easily detect. Chords bloom and decay more naturally, with fewer dissonant overtones. The guitar simply sounds and plays better in tune, allowing your musicality to shine through.
Onboard ES2 Pickup System Captures Your Sound
Taylor's ES2 pickup system authentically amplifies the 312ce's acoustic properties. Its three-band EQ lets you shape your tone, with adjustable midrange frequencies that complement the V-Class bracing's sonic enhancements. You'll enjoy natural, balanced plugged-in sound for gigging or recording. The ES2's removable battery bag provides onstage power, freeing you to move freely as you play.
Premium Appointments and Lifetime Warranty
The 312ce comes equipped with high-quality appointments like real mother-of-pearl inlays and durable nickel hardware. It ships in a deluxe Taylor case for protection. As with all Taylor guitars, it's backed by a lifetime warranty and the company's commitment to quality.
