Overview
212ce
With its compact Grand Concert body and solid-wood top, the 212ce offers a remarkably comfortable, accommodating experience for players of all skill levels. Layered walnut back and sides and a solid torrefied spruce top generate plenty of projection for any musical application, with our special roasting process adding a touch of aged-in warmth and sweetness. The slightly shorter scale length of the Grand Concert shape, paired with the slender Taylor neck profile, make for a relaxed, intimate feel that's especially inviting to fingerstyle players while still offering enough power for flatpickers and strummers. And with the built-in ES2 electronics, you're guaranteed clear, faithful tone whenever you need to plug in.
Features
Bold Sound, Accommodating Feel
A solid spruce top and the compact Grand Concert body shape add up to an enticing mix of comfort and rich tone.
Grand Concert
A compact shape with a clear, articulate voice, strong sustain, and a highly touch-sensitive, expressive response.
Walnut
Walnut’s crisp highs are balanced by a deep, woody low end that emerges as the guitar is played in.
Torrefied Spruce
Treated with our special roasting process, torrefied spruce tops deliver all the clarity, balance and projection you’d expect from a traditional spruce top with an extra dash of warmth and played-in depth.
Expression System® 2
The Expression System® 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.
Venetian Cutaway
The Venetian cutaway is known for its soft, round lines. The sloping peak of the cutaway will vary depending on the shape of the body.

212ce torrified spruce/walnut.
I’ve had my 212ce guitar for three months and have been playing it daily. It is a perfect size for me and is incredibly easy to play. It sounds great. Very happy with the guitar and it is the one I grab to play the most.

Well balanced sound. Enough projection without being “boomy”. Warm and sustaining.

Nice guitar
I like the light weight, balance, size and general sound and resonance of this. It is quite a playable guitar and came fairly well set up at the start. Plugged in sounds good. As far as guitars go it isn't particularly expensive. It's not fancy. It came with a nice backpacker semi hard case that is great for moving it about. I've been using it in my mobile tutoring work.
The only negative thing for me is that it is not holding tune particularly well so I am considering upgrading machineheads or looking into whether strings are binding at the nut.
Music is my job and it won't cut it live if doesn't stay in tune so well. I have other guitars that have proven to be great tools that work consistently well and stay in tune better. I'll be doing more live work later this year and next year and at this point I'm not confident that it is the best guitar for the job of live music.
