Taylor Grand Concert Showdown: 412ce-R vs. 612ce vs. 312ce

Taylor

collapse expand iconDescription

This Special Edition Taylor 412ce-NR Rosewood Nylon Grand Concert acoustic-electric is truly a remarkable instrument. It features Indian rosewood, one of the most popular and musically expressive tonewoods in the world, paired with a Sitka spruce top to produce a rich and detailed sound. Taylor's Grand Concert is slightly smaller that its Grand Auditorium and yields controlled overtones, so the sound won't occupy a lot of sonic space. This is often a key consideration when other instruments are in the mix, such as in a performance or recording environment, and it allows the guitar to be heard more clearly. Its intimate size makes it lap/couch-friendly, and a great fit for players who find smaller instruments more physically comfortable.

The Special Edition 412ce-NR is equipped with an ES-N single-source, under-saddle transducer and preamp design and tone controls that were customized to complement the nylon-string voice. Taylor's standard ES control knobs (Volume, Treble and Bass) enable plenty of tone-shaping and preserve the natural design aesthetic. This instrument ships in a deluxe hardshell case made by Taylor for optimal fit and protection.

    I would buy this guitar again it sounds so nice and is easy to play. I have a 20 year old Martin 000C mahogany nylon string guitar and this guitar sounds better than that one and it isn't even broken in yet. .I still love them both

  • Excellent playability right out of the box

    This guitar has it all; great tone, beautiful finish, nice wood pairing and comfortable to play. I wanted a nylon string guitar to add to my collection. Since I love the Taylor brand this guitar was the perfect choice.
