Taylor 212ce Walnut - natural satin

200 Series, Grand Concert type. Made in Mexico. The TAYLOR 212ce 2024 electro folk guitar features a solid torrefied Sitka Spruce top, laminated Walnut back and sides, neo-tropical Mahogany neck, Ebony fingerboard and Expression System ES2 preamp. Taylor introduced its Grand Concert size in 1984, to meet the demands of a certain category of highly technical guitarists. It's a compact, streamlined and extremely user-friendly format, with a small tonal footprint that makes it easy to record on stage or in the studio.
The 24.7/8" scale, with its lower string tension, also contributes to the great playing comfort of these models.

Sitka spruce is the traditional choice for the vast majority of acoustic guitars. Thanks to a perfect balance between robustness and elasticity, Sitka generates a direct, punchy sound with impeccable articulation. In a compromise between Rosewood, Mahogany and Maple, Walnut has a well-balanced bass/midrange/treble frequency balance, combined with remarkable clarity. In addition to giving the wood an attractive patina, the torrefaction process improves tuning stability, sustain, clarity and resonance.

Taylor Expression System 2 Preamp: in order to faithfully reproduce the amplitude and fundamental character of their acoustics, Taylor took several years to develop the Expression System (ES). Thanks to new sensors and a substantially reworked circuit, the Expression System 2 offers even greater responsiveness and dynamics, and according to Taylor, around 25% more warmth.
