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.

Features

Grand Concert

A smaller-bodied guitar ideally suited for fingerstyle.

Tropical Mahogany

A midrange powerhouse. Mahogany is prized for balance and articulation, making it one of the best all-around tonewoods there is.

Neo-Tropical Mahogany

The hardwood top produces strong fundamentals with clarity and focus.

Expression System® 2

The Expression System® 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.

V-Class Bracing

Our patented V-Class bracing is a revolutionary new pattern — a new sonic engine — that marks a major shift away from traditional steel-string bracing patterns.
