What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Sitka spruce top Projects rich, crisp and responsive tone
Indian rosewood back and sides Articulate mids, big lows and smooth highs
Ebony fretboard Dark color, tight grain; premium fretboard wood
Taylor Expression System 2 Captures dynamic range of acoustic sound

The Taylor 412ce-R acoustic-electric guitar comes ready to hit the stage with its powerful and articulate Expression System 2 electronics and striking looks. A Sitka spruce top is complemented by rosewood back and sides to produce a warm, alluring resonance, and a tropical mahogany neck features 20 frets along a smooth and inviting ebony fingerboard boasting tight and comfortable action. Classy white binding offers an attractive contrast, and a Venetian cutaway provides easy access to those higher frets. Plug in this beauty, and you'll hear why Taylor players love their guitars!

Grand Concert Body Shape

The Grand Concert body shape is the smallest of Taylor's full-sized guitar bodies. Its compact contour provides a comfortable feel and features a slightly shorter scale length. The spruce top provides crisp tonal articulation that works well in pretty much any genre or style. Indian rosewood is a musically rich tonewood that exhibits deep lows and clear treble. Both tonewoods resonate a sound that is difficult to pigeonhole into one particular style -- a solid choice for the dynamic player who likes to explore different musical genres.

Tropical Mahogany Neck and Ebony Fretboard

As a guitar tonewood, mahogany pushes the lows and mids slightly more than rosewood and ovangkol do while also adding a good amount of sustain to each note. The slightly shorter scale length of 24.875" on this appendage brings the frets closer together, which can be easier on the fingers for read more players who prefer a slinkier feel. The ebony fingerboard is silky smooth and features 20 frets with tight action and addictive playability.

Taylor's ES2 Electronics

When you're ready to plug in, Taylor's unmatched Expression System 2 electronics will deliver on demand. This design utilizes a behind-the-saddle piezo-electric transducer setup as opposed to the more common under-the-saddle pickup orientation, which doesn't capture the nuance and dynamics of your playing quite as well. You have two tone controls and a gain control that's 25 percent hotter than the original ES electronics design.
