Taylor 522e 12-Fret Grand Concert Acoustic-Electric Guitar (with Case)

No longer available at zZounds
Taylor's Grand Concert body shape gets even more comfortable in the 522e, thanks to a neck that joins the body at the 12th fret for reduced string tension.

What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Ebony fretboard Dark color, tight grain; premium fretboard wood
Mahogany body Rich, warm, focused sound; added sustain
Mahogany neck Great sustain, strength, and warm tone
Taylor Expression System 2 Captures dynamic range of acoustic sound

Like Taylor's other 12-fret models, this all-mahogany edition takes playability to another level with a slinky handfeel on the strings and a surprisingly warm and powerful voice. The 24-7/8-inch scale length condenses the fret spacing and reduces the string tension, and the more central bridge position on the lower bout enables the top to pump out a stronger response. With the new Performance bracing on the 500 Series, each model is uniquely optimized to boost the volume, projection and warmth. Aesthetic refinements include a shaded edgeburst body and neck, faux tortoise shell binding, a rosette of faux tortoise shell framed by grained ivoroid, and a grained ivoroid Century fretboard inlay. A Venetian cutaway gives you more access to the upper register, while Taylor's stage-ready Expression System 2 electronics capture the guitar's tonal nuances in a natural way.
