Description
Combining comfort, clarity, and craftsmanship, the Taylor 212ce is a versatile Grand Concert acoustic-electric guitar designed to inspire players of all styles. With a solid torrefied Sitka spruce top and layered walnut back and sides, this model delivers a dynamic tonal palette that blends crisp articulation with aged-in warmth and rich sustain. Taylor’s torrefaction process enhances the top’s tonal maturity, making the guitar sound played-in right out of the box.
Its Grand Concert body shape, the most compact of Taylor’s full-size designs, makes the 212ce especially suitable for fingerstyle players or anyone who prefers a more intimate, articulate response. The shorter 24-7/8″ scale length and Taylor’s signature slim neck profile offer an effortless playing experience, ideal for both beginners and seasoned musicians.
Equipped with Taylor’s Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics, the 212ce ensures studio-quality amplified tone with natural dynamics and clarity. Whether practicing at home, recording, or performing live, the 212ce delivers a balanced voice with easy playability in a refined, performance-ready package.
