Solid torrefied spruce top and Big Leaf maple back and sides make this gloss black classical guitar from Taylor a perfect choice for your next guitar.
The Taylor 212ce-N Plus limited-edition Grand Concert acoustic-electric nylon-string guitar provides an inspiring musical experience. With a solid torrefied spruce top and layered big leaf maple back and sides, this guitar resonates with full, balanced tone that projects clearly. Plug in the ES-N pickup system for amplified performance or recording. Whether you're a seasoned classical guitarist or just discovering the nylon-string sound, the 212ce-N Plus inspires with its impressive musicality and premium appointments.
Solid Torrefied Spruce Top and Layered Big Leaf Maple Back and Sides
The torrefied spruce top on the 212ce-N Plus is specially treated to increase its rigidity and improve tonal balance. Notes ring out boldly and sustain longer. The layered maple back and sides provide a sturdy yet lightweight platform for the top to vibrate. Together, these premium woods create impressive resonance for a nylon-string guitar in this price range.
Sleek Neck for Smooth Playability
The neck on the 212ce-N Plus has a shallow oval profile that feels familiar in your hands whether you typically play steel- or nylon-string guitars. The 1-7/8" nut width is slightly narrower than a traditional classical guitar, increasing playability for musicians with smaller hands or those transitioning between acoustic genres. The genuine ebony fingerboard has a slight radius, blending comfort and tradition.
Plug in for Performance and Recording
The ES-N pickup and preamp system provides a simple way to amplify your 212ce-N Plus for live performance or record it directly for lush nylon-string tones in your tracks. The under-saddle piezo pickup accurately captures the guitar's natural resonance. Standard volume, bass and treble controls on the preamp allow you to shape your tone to suit the venue or track.
Timeless Style
With its gloss black finish, crisp white binding and rosette and nickel tuners, the 212ce-N Plus has understated visual appeal that complements its musicality. The uncluttered aesthetic draws focus to the premium materials and craftsmanship that produce such inspiring tone. The guitar comes with a durable AeroCase for protection when traveling to your next rehearsal, gig or recording session.
