The Quintessential Small-bodied Acoustic/Electric Guitar.
The one thing that all acoustic guitarists have in common, whether they are a beginner or experienced professional, is that once they pick up a Taylor, it's the beginning of a life-long love affair. Even the occasional player finds themselves devoting more and more time to playing their new Taylor. In fact, one such part time player, a lawyer, wrote a letter to Taylor stating that he was spending more time playing his new Taylor and less time on his law practice. If you're looking for a small-bodied guitar with a big sound that you can fall in love with, Taylor 312ce Grand Concert is your guitar.


Taylor Guitar 312ce at a Glance:
  • Small-bodied 6-String acoustic/electric with Venetian cutaway .
  • Sitka Spruce top, sapele back and sides.
  • Clear-sounding and comfortable Grand Concert body.
  • Satin finish with gloss top.
  • Taylor Expression System with Neve electronics.


Taylor Guitar 312ce
Comfortable and always fun to play, the Taylor 312ce small-body Grand Concert features elegant black fiber binding, a gloss top, and Venetian cutaway. Solid sapele backs and sides and gloss-finished Sitka spruce tops provide a clear, balanced tone, while wood fiber binding, large pearl dot fretboard inlays, and chrome Taylor tuners streamline the look.

Taylor Guitar 312ce Wood
The warm yet snappy tone of sapele balances the bright and characteristics of a Sitka spruce top. The resulting combination provides the perfect guitar for strong, rhythmic playing styles.

Taylor Guitar 312ce Body Type: Grand Concert
The Taylor 312ce Grand Concert is the quintessential small-bodied guitar. Its comfortable shape delivers clarity and a balanced response for an unforgettable player experience. Scaled-down proportions make the 312ce Grand Concert ideal for fingerstyle playing.

Taylor Guitar 312ce Finish
The finish used to create this guitar's textured satin back and sides and lustrous gloss top was developed at Taylor for maximum durability and resistance to cold-checking. This ultra violet-cured finish is also more environmentally friendly than traditional lacquer finishes. Available in natural finish.

Customer Reviews
 It's habit forming.  
by Rev. Lee from AL from Alabama, November 24, 2007
Music Background:  Hobbyist and play at church.


“I have several high-end acoustic guitars. Most are "drednaughts" and I am also. When I played this grand concert I fell in love with the size. And with scalloped braces and quality build it projects awesomely. This Taylor has the electronics to make playing at home a concert event. The neck feels so natural and I can't explain why. I love it and play it more than all my others combined.”
