Taylor 412CE Grand Concert Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar (with Case)

A smaller body highlighted by a Venetian cutaway and the Expression System, this Grand Concert shines as either a fingerstyle guitar or a light strummer. The quick, articulate response of Sitka Spruce is combined with the warmth and sparkle of Ovangkol, giving the 400 Series a tone reminiscent of Rosewood, yet uniquely its own.

Grand Concert
The Grand Concert is the quintessential small-bodied guitar. Its comfortable shape delivers clarity and a balanced response for an unforgettable player experience. Scaled-down proportions make the Grand Concert ideal for fingerstyle playing.

Taylor Expression System
Designed to faithfully reproduce your guitar's native tone, the Expression System utilizes patented Dynamic Sensors to capture top and string vibration like never before. Created in partnership with renowned audio pioneer, Mr. Rupert Neve, the Taylor ES is seamlessly integrated into the design of the guitar from the ground up. Onboard tone controls provide added flavor, or set flat for an uncolored, exceptionally clean amplified sound.

Satin with Gloss Top
The finish used to create this guitar's textured satin back and sides and lustrous gloss top was developed at Taylor for maximum durability and resistance to cold-checking. This ultra violet-cured finish is also more environmentally friendly than traditional lacquer finishes. Available in natural finish.

400 Sereis
The 400 Series boasts backs and sides of solid Ovangkol, an African tonewood with Olive-Brown coloration, intensely varied grain, and Rosewood-like tone. Features include a solid, gloss-finished Sitka Spruce top, white fiber binding, an Ebony fretboard inlaid with pearl dots, and the Expression System, now standard on all CE models.
