V-Class bracing unlocks the 312ce's musical potential with enhanced volume, sustain and intonation.
The Taylor 312ce Grand Concert acoustic-electric guitar provides serious musicians with the perfect combination of resonant solid-wood tone and workhorse utility. Featuring solid sapele back and sides paired with a Sitka spruce top, this guitar generates a clear, punchy midrange response with minimal overtones and a warm, woody character focused on the fundamental note. Taylor's innovative V-Class bracing boosts both volume and sustain while resolving intonation issues for purer, more consistent sound. The compact Grand Concert body shape offers comfortable playability and an articulate voice ideal for fingerstyle and light strumming.
Premium Tonewoods Produce Balanced Warmth
The 312ce's solid sapele back and sides provide a balanced warmth between the dry tone of mahogany and rosewood's complex overtones. As the top wood, Sitka spruce is the most common for acoustic guitars, blending stiffness and elasticity to create a broad dynamic range with crisp articulation. Together, these premium tonewoods generate the impressive resonance and sustain Taylor guitars are known for.
V-Class Bracing Optimizes Response
Taylor's revolutionary V-Class bracing goes beyond traditional X-bracing to optimize the 312ce's response in three ways: boosting volume, increasing sustain and resolving intonation issues. V-Class bracing creates purer, more consistent notes that sound more in-tune across the fingerboard for a superior musical experience. Guitars with V-Class bracing are also easier to tune precisely thanks to their solid, in-tune pitch.
Grand Concert Body Provides Controlled Overtones
The 312ce's Grand Concert body is slightly smaller than the Grand Auditorium, yielding controlled overtones so the focused midrange won't overpower other instruments. The intimate size also makes this guitar comfortable for playing in tight spaces or on your lap. Despite its smaller size, the Grand Concert body pairs well with either a 14-fret or 12-fret neck joint to produce an articulate voice with chimey high-end that flatpickers and fingerstyle players alike can appreciate.
Premium Appointments and Electronics
Premium appointments on the 312ce include a tropical mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard and elegant black and white binding. The included ES2 electronics system features an under-saddle pickup and knobs for volume and tone, allowing you to amplify your acoustic tone when performing live or recording in the studio. For the perfect blend of resonant solid-wood tone and utility, the Taylor 312ce Grand Concert acoustic-electric guitar provides an inspiring musical experience for serious guitarists.
