Taylor 212ce Grand Concert Left-Handed Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural

The Taylor 212ce brings their Grand Concert body shape to left-handed players in a sustainable, finely crafted instrument. With the 212ce Grand Concert Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Taylor pairs a solid torrefied Sitka spruce top with layered walnut back and sides. This creates exceptional volume, balance and projection with each note played. The Grand Concert's controlled overtones won't overpower other instruments. Paired with the 1 11/16" nut width, this makes the 212ce ideal for fingerstyle playing and recording. Taylor's ES2 electronics faithfully capture the 212ce's natural acoustic tone. The pickup system features calibrated behind-the-saddle sensors, letting the nuance of the guitar's tone shine through amplified or unplugged. Players will find the guitar easy to play thanks to the Taylor neck profile and 20 frets on an genuine African ebony fingerboard. With the 212ce Grand Concert, left-handed players can enjoy Taylor's commitment to quality, sustainability and playability.

Resonant Tone Wood Pairing For Articulate Sound

The torrefied sitka spruce top of the 212ce adds punch and volume to each note played. Torrefaction improves the wood's resonance and projection. Combined with layered walnut back and sides, you get a dynamic tonal range with each strum or fingerpick. The walnut produces a clear, focused midrange with sparkling highs. Together this creates an articulate voice to cut through the mix. The Grand Concert body tightens up the bass and overtones compared to other shapes. This prevents a muddy sound when playing with other instruments. Fingerstyle players will love the 212ce's balanced and intimate voice.

Ideal Nut Width and Fingerboard For Comfortable Playing

The 212ce Grand Concert has a nut width of 1 11/16", slightly narrower than many classical guitars. This makes it easy to fret chords and complicated fingerstyle passages. The ebony fingerboard has a smooth feel, encouraging intricate melodies up and down the neck. With 20 frets and a comfortable neck profile, the 212ce gives you room to solo without hand fatigue. The compact Grand Concert body is perfect for smaller players too. Take the 212ce from couch to studio and enjoy its comfortable ergonomics and playability.

Taylor ES2 Pickup System Captures Natural Acoustic Tone

Plug in the 212ce Grand Concert and amplify its pure voice with Taylor's ES2 pickup system. The ES2 uses three calibrated pickup sensors behind the saddle, capturing the guitar's natural acoustic tone. This lets the solid-to-bridge contact ring out fully amplified or unplugged. With the ES2, you get incredible amplified resonance and responsiveness on stage or in the studio. Dial in your perfect tone with easy-to-use volume, bass and treble controls. The discrete pickup design maintains the 212ce's natural look and feel.

Quality Materials and Sustainable Build

From its solid spruce and walnut tone woods to its ebony fingerboard, the 212ce uses ethically and environmentally sourced materials. The neck has Taylor's standard profile for comfort and playability. Die-cast chrome tuners keep the 212ce in tune through changes in humidity and temperature. With layered wood binding and an acrylic pickguard, the 212ce looks as good as it sounds. Taylor crafts each guitar to last with care and precision. Enjoy the 212ce Grand Concert's exceptional, sustainable build for years to come.
