Overview

512ce 12-Fret

Solid woods, compact dimensions and a comfortable 12-fret- neck-to-body configuration make this Grand Concert acoustic-electric an alluring choice for virtually any type of player. Urban Ironbark paired with torrefied Sitka spruce add up to an enticing mix of power, top-end clarity, played-in warmth and remarkable balance, with our V-Class bracing architecture inside to coax out louder volume and longer sustain. The 12-fret setup helps enhance this model's playability, bringing your hands closer together for a more intimate, accommodating feel and a dash of extra midrange punch. With its subtle appointment package and rich red hues, the 512ce 12-Fret also boasts a classic yet updated aesthetic that looks beautiful in any scenario.

Features

Grand Concert

A compact shape with a clear, articulate voice, strong sustain, and a highly touch-sensitive, expressive response.

Red Ironbark

This tonewood from our urban wood initiative yields power, fidelity and depth for a supremely balanced, muscular sound.

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.

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.

Rated 5 out of 5 from 1 rating

Great look and feel, even better tone and sound.

5 out of 5 stars Greg P.

Recently purchased this guitar, have had it about a week now. Very, very impressed with this guitar. The craftsmanship, appearance and playability are all top notch but to me, it's the tone that makes this guitar great. Treble clear as a bell, nice deep bass and well balanced mids. And all the tones have real depth to them and project really well. Have never played a high end rosewood guitar but am guessing that if I did, this guitar is a good taste of what that would be like. I play finger style so for me this guitar is literally perfect. Bottom line, although the ironbark is obviously not a traditional tone wood, I highly recommend giving this guitar a try to see and hear for yourself. You may be surprised.
