Taylor Builder's Edition 912ce Acoustic Electric Guitar, Natural Satin, Hard Shell Case

Taylor's most premium family of rosewood/spruce acoustic guitars, the 900 Series showcases top-grade craftsmanship, tonal sophistication and visual artistry. These all-solid-wood, U.S.-made guitars are built with Indian rosewood and Sitka spruce, an all-time great tonewood pairing that players love for its balance, warmth and articulation. That textured musical response takes a boost from V-Class bracing, which adds volume and sustain to all models. Choose from the popular, versatile Grand Auditorium body and the compact Grand Concert. All models are stunningly adorned with deluxe appointments composed of Hawaiian koa, paua and pearl.

The Builder's Edition 912ce sports all-solid tonewoods and an array of comfort-focused touches that make it one of our most refined Grand Concert models. Indian rosewood back and sides team with a Lutz spruce top to produce rich overtones and a stunning balance of low-end presence, chime-like trebles and a slight scoop in the midrange that leaves room for vocals. The compact body offers an intimate feel along with strong definition between notes, making this a great option for fingerstyle players. V-Class bracing inside elevates the response with more volume and sustain, while the chamfered edges, beveled cutaway and armrest remove all barriers to a comfortable playing experience. Finally, the Silent Satin finish helps reduce noise from the player's movement.

Features:

Grand Concert
A smaller-bodied guitar ideally suited for fingerstyle.

Indian Rosewood
The tonewood superstar. Popular, traditional, and versatile, Bob Taylor puts Indian rosewood among the greatest tonewoods ever.

Lutz Spruce
This natural hybrid of Sitka and White spruce also shares characteristics with Adirondack spruce, responding with power, richness and volume.

Expression System 2
The Expression System 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.

Beveled Cutaway
Our beveled cutaway design provides a more player-friendly feel for guitarists who utilize every inch of the fretboard. It features a compound design with a smoothened edge along the corner of the body between the end of the cutaway and the neck heel, providing a more comfortable feel for the fretting hand. 

V-Class Bracing
Our patented V-Class bracing is a revolutionary new pattern — a new sonic engine — that marks a major shift away from traditional steel-string bracing patterns.
