Taylor Guitars - 812CE 12 FRET

Description

The Grand Concert's intimate body size and 24-7/8-inch scale length make for a comfortable playing experience that fingerstyle players are bound to love. The 12-fret version of the 812ce yields a slightly different character than the 14-fret because the bridge position is closer to the center of the lower bout and because the bracing profile was modified to emphasize a bolder attack. Players can expect plenty of the Grand Concert's signature articulation with a slightly meatier, more robust tonal output. Recently integrated with the 800 Deluxe Series, this year's edition of the 812ce 12-Fret includes a radius-style rosewood armrest for enhanced playing comfort. It features Taylor's V-Class bracing design, which bolsters this small-bodied guitar with added projection and sustain, bringing out more of Indian rosewood's harmonic complexity. If you like a slightly darker, punchier quality in a small guitar, the 812ce 12-Fret is a great choice.
