The Taylor 212ce-N Plus is a refined nylon-string acoustic-electric guitar that delivers the warmth and expressive character of classical guitars while incorporating Taylor’s renowned modern playability. Designed for classical performers, fingerstyle enthusiasts, and steel-string players looking to explore nylon-string textures, this professional-grade instrument offers exceptional comfort, responsiveness, and versatility.
Built with a solid torrefied spruce top and layered Indian rosewood back and sides, the 212ce-N Plus produces a rich, articulate voice with crisp note definition, balanced projection, and a touch of mature warmth. Taylor’s proprietary torrefaction process enhances the soundboard with a naturally aged tonal character, providing increased sweetness, responsiveness, and depth from the very first note.
The compact Grand Concert body shape and 12-fret neck design create a remarkably comfortable playing experience. Combined with the slightly wider 1-7/8-inch nut width and Taylor’s slim neck profile, the guitar offers effortless fretting, smooth transitions, and ideal string spacing for intricate fingerstyle passages and classical techniques.
Specialized nylon-string bracing enhances sustain, dynamic response, and tonal openness, ensuring excellent clarity across the entire frequency spectrum. Whether played acoustically or amplified, the 212ce-N Plus delivers a rich and inspiring musical experience.
For live performance and recording, the guitar is equipped with Taylor’s ES-N electronics system, engineered specifically for nylon-string guitars to capture the instrument’s natural warmth, detail, and dynamic nuance with exceptional accuracy.
Premium visual appointments include a gloss-finished body, black binding, elegant Italian acrylic rosette, slotted headstock, 4mm dot fretboard inlays, and classical-style nickel tuners with faux pearl buttons. Completing the package is Taylor’s lightweight and highly protective AeroCase for secure transportation and storage.
