Overview
522e 12-Fret
If you've never tried one of Taylor's 12-fret acoustic guitars, the 522e 12-Fret is a great place to start. All-solid mahogany construction serves up a bold, punchy midrange response with clear focus and minimal ringing overtones, while also providing a touch of natural compression to balance out the response across the frequency spectrum. The 12-fret configuration brings the player's hands a bit closer together for a more comfortable, intimate feel, and the shifted bridge position results in a bit more midrange heft. V-Class bracing dials up more volume and sustain, while the Grand Concert body maintains definition that will please flatpickers and fingerstyle players. It ships with ES2 electronics and a hardshell case.
