512ce 12-Fret

This fingerstyle dream blends the physical comfort of our compact Grand Concert body, the warm and responsive voice of mahogany topped with cedar, and the slinky handfeel of the 12-fret, 24-7/8-inch scale length neck into an effortlessly expressive 6-string. With the addition of V-Class bracing, the enhanced volume and sustain expand the dynamic range in both directions—making it both more responsive to a light touch and capable of handling a lively attack. The 12-fret configuration, which positions the bridge near the center of the lower bout, elicits extra warmth, power and sweetness, and those sonic traits are also enhanced by V-Class framework. Visually, the slotted headstock, grained ivoroid Century inlays, and faux tortoise shell binding and pickguard outfit the guitar with neo-vintage aesthetic appeal, while modern features include an elegant Venetian cutaway and proprietary Taylor ES2 electronics.
