Taylor 812ce-N Acoustic-Electric Nylon String Guitar
The Taylor 812ce-N is a premium nylon-string acoustic-electric guitar that masterfully combines the warmth and expressive character of a classical instrument with the comfort and playability modern musicians demand. Designed for discerning fingerstyle players, composers, and performing artists, this elegant Grand Concert model delivers exceptional tonal balance, articulation, and responsiveness.
Crafted with solid Indian rosewood back and sides and a solid Sitka spruce top, the 812ce-N produces a rich, sophisticated voice characterized by lush overtones, deep bass response, and sparkling trebles. The smaller Grand Concert body enhances note separation and dynamic sensitivity, making it an outstanding choice for intricate fingerstyle arrangements and expressive solo performances.
Taylor’s player-friendly neck design features a comfortable 20-inch fingerboard radius and a 1-7/8-inch nut width, providing an ideal balance between traditional classical spacing and modern playability. Whether you’re transitioning from steel-string guitars or you’re an experienced nylon-string performer, the neck profile feels remarkably natural and comfortable.
Equipped with Taylor’s ES-N electronics system, the 812ce-N faithfully reproduces the guitar’s natural nylon-string character when amplified, making it equally suitable for studio sessions, live performances, and professional recording environments. A premium Taylor hardshell case is included for maximum protection during storage and transport.
Elegant, responsive, and sonically inspiring, the Taylor 812ce-N represents the perfect fusion of classical tradition and contemporary craftsmanship.
