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.

  • 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 Wood

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer is the best. If I need it tomorrow, I have it tomorrow. He makes sure everything is in order and that I'm set up right. I've spent a lot of money at other places, too, but I don't remember them calling me to make sure everything's okay.
