The Taylor 112ce Grand Concert acoustic-electric guitar brings impressive sound and easy playability together in one incredible package. Built with a torrefied Sitka spruce top and layered sapele back and sides, the 112ce generates incredible dynamics, volume and sustain. The cutaway body grants comfortable access to upper frets while the slim neck profile offers smooth playability. Taylor's ES2 pickup system accurately captures the 112ce's rich acoustic tone, providing exceptional amplified performance. With the 112ce, Taylor delivers an acoustic-electric that feels and sounds fantastic.

Unlock Dynamic Tone and Sustain With a Torrefied Sitka Spruce Top

At the heart of the 112ce lies its torrefied sitka spruce top. The torrefaction process enhances the wood's resonance and projection, allowing the 112ce to produce impressive volume, dynamics and sustain. Each individual note rings out with exceptional clarity and balance. You'll love the crisp, detailed tone generated by the 112ce's Sitka spruce top.

Feel the Warmth of Layered Sapele Back and Sides

Providing a beautiful complement to the spruce top, the 112ce features layered sapele back and sides. Sapele creates a warm, balanced foundation, allowing the top to shine while adding vintage character. The layered construction offers rock-solid durability, maintaining structural integrity through changes in temperature and humidity. Paired with the sitka spruce top, the sapele back and sides generate a nicely balanced acoustic voice.

Reach Higher Frets With the Cutaway Body Design

The 112ce utilizes Taylor's comfortable Grand Concert body shape with a cutaway for easy upper fret access. The cutaway allows your hand to freely move up and down the neck, permitting solos, riffs and leads beyond the 12th fret. The Grand Concert shape provides an intimate feel perfect for fingerstyle playing. With its cutaway design, the 112ce makes playing the entire neck a breeze.

Plug in with Taylor's ES2 Pickup System

When it's time to plug in, the 112ce delivers incredible amplified performance thanks to Taylor's innovative ES2 pickup system. ES2 accurately captures the 112ce's natural acoustic tone with the help of three calibrated pickup sensors. The result is an amplified sound that maintains the rich character of your acoustic tone. With the onboard volume, bass and treble controls, dialing in your perfect amplified sound is quick and easy. Take your show on stage or into the studio with exceptional plugged-in performance from the 112ce.

Enjoy Smooth Playability with a Slim Neck Profile

Taylor crafts the 112ce's neck with a slim profile that makes playing along the smooth ebony fingerboard a breeze. The slim shape allows your hand to easily grip and move up and down the neck for riffs, chords and solos. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned player, you'll appreciate the comfortable feel and playability provided by the 112ce's slim neck profile.

    Wow, just wow. I'm a long time fingerstyle player who was looking for a travel guitar. Then this 112ce showed up at a GC store and screamed - I'm coming home with you! Bright and clear defines this guitar. The torrified top adds a splash of sweetness and refinement to the overall tone. Setup was perfect. The maple neck adds miles of sustain. The layered back and sides contribute to a direct and reflective attack that compliments finger style playing. Further, this guitar is light due to the absence of back bracing. The bowl shaped back also adds in projection. This beauty is a step up from the Academy and GS Mini series due to upgrades such as binding, a cutaway and ES2 electronics. Not sure the 112ce is a heavy strummer's cup of tea, but if you're a fingerstyle player who doesn't want to break the bank - this one's worth a try. You'll be glad you did.

  • Great sound, well set up, rough finish

    I tried the 114 and went with the 112. I thought that the 114 has better low end, but was larger and less comfortable. The sound is great. No fret buzzing, well rounded. The action was a bit high from the factory, but is good overall. My only complaint is that the matte finish is a bit rough to the touch. I wish it was a gloss finish, but you have to pay twice the price to get a Taylor with a gloss finish. Overall, I think this is the best sounding guitar for the price.

    2) I like Sitka. 2) I’m sorry, I don’t know. That shouldn't be a concern.
