Taylor 812ce-N Rosewood/Spruce Nylon String Grand Concert Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural

A small-body nylon string with a Sitka spruce top, Indian rosewood back and sides, soft cutaway and Taylor ES-N electronics.




The flagship series of the acoustic/electric line
traces back to Bob Taylor’s first rosewood guitars, which helped
establish a modern acoustic guitar sound. The addition of Taylor’s
easy-to-play 812ce-N Rosewood/Spruce Nylon String Grand Concert
Acoustic-Electric Guitar to the series speaks to the emergence of nylon
tone as an increasingly popular acoustic flavor for contemporary
players.

Grand Concert (GC)
Body Width: 15" / Body Depth: 4-3/8" / Body Length: 19-1/2"
A smaller-bodied guitar ideally suited for fingerstyle.

The
small-body Grand Concert debuted in 1984 to meet the needs of a new
wave of adventurous acoustic fingerstyle players. In contrast to the
traditionally darker, boomier voices of bigger body styles like
dreadnoughts and jumbos, the GC’s compact size and tapered waist kept
the overtones in check. It was also more comfortable to play while
sitting down, and the guitar’s slightly wider neck gave players more
room for complex fingerings. The GC’s smaller sonic footprint also fit
cleanly in a mix with other instruments when tracking in the studio and
with a band on stage, making it a useful tool for professional session
and side players. The current generation of GC models continues to
accommodate fingerstylists with finger-friendly traits like a shorter
24-7/8" scale length, which makes fretting easier and adds a slightly
slinkier feel on the strings due to the lighter string tension. If you
feel more comfortable with a small body or favor controlled overtones, a
Grand Concert is a great option.

Indian Rosewood
One
of the most popular and traditional guitar woods of all time, rosewood
takes the basic sonic thumbprint of mahogany (which has a strong
midrange) and expands it in both directions. Rosewood sounds deeper in
the low end and brighter on the top end (one might describe the treble
notes as zesty, sparkly or sizzly, with more articulation). If you look
at its frequency range visually, rosewood would appear to be more
scooped in the middle, yielding less midrange bloom than mahogany. Like
mahogany, rosewood’s vintage heritage has helped firmly establish its
acoustic legacy. It’s a great sound in part because we know that sound.
In some music circles in which preserving the traditional sound helps
bring a sense of authenticity to the music — certain strains of
Americana, for example — rosewood has an iconic status. Also like
mahogany, rosewood is a versatile tonewood, which has contributed to its
popularity. One can fingerpick it, strum it and flatpick it. It’s very
consistent, so players can usually rely on it to deliver.

ES-N®
Like
the the ES-T, The ES-N is a single-source, undersaddle transducer, but
the preamp design and tone controls were customized to complement the
nylon-string voice. Standard ES control knobs enable plenty of
tone-shaping and preserve the natural design aesthetic.
