zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Tasmanian blackwood back and sides give this 512ce plenty of midrange warmth, and its smaller body, short-scale neck, and cutaway make it a joy to play.

Overview
Taylor's 12-fret 512ce Grand Concert blends the intimate feel of a small body and short-scale neck with a slightly meatier sound than 14-fret Grand Concerts (due in part to the shifted bridge location on the top). Together with Blackwood/spruce wood pairing, you can expect a guitar that's great for both fingerstyle and more dynamic picking and strumming, flavored by Blackwood's koa-meets-rosewood tone profile, which blends midrange warmth and clarity with treble sparkle. Visually, the slotted headstock, shaded edgeburst treatment, and ivoroid appointments suggest a vintage personality, while Taylor's Expression System 2 pickup delivers superb amplified tone.
