From Our Research Team:

A Gorgeous, Vintage-inspired Guitar

The Taylor 512 12-Fret acoustic guitar is in a class by itself. A Grand Concert with its neck joined to the body at the 12th fret and its bridge moved farther back on the soundboard, this guitar gives you a warm tone that sounds beautifully aged right out of the case. The 512 12-Fret's "vintage-modern" voice delivers warmth and depth along with brilliant articulation and clarity, and surprising volume - considering its smaller size. With its Tropical mahogany body, Western red cedar top, and vintage-inspired appointments, the Taylor 512 12-Fret will win your heart.

Taylor 512 12-Fret Acoustic Guitar at a Glance:
  • Grand Concert body style gives you comfort, clarity, and balanced tone
  • Superb Taylor finish: luscious and durable
  • Premium Taylor quality for smooth playability and great sound that only gets better with age

Grand Concert body style gives you comfort, clarity, and balanced tone
Want an acoustic guitar that's perfect for tracking? Taylor's Grand Concert body style gives you clarity and balanced tone that sits beautifully in thicker arrangements where a larger-bodied acoustic would take up too much real estate.
The Taylor 512 12-Fret acoustic guitar's smaller body and tapered waist not only make it the ultimate studio and stage guitar, but its short scale and lighter string tension also make it easier to play - perfect for younger players with small hands.

Superb Taylor finish: luscious and durable
The Taylor 512 12-Fret's lustrous finish was developed at Taylor for maximum durability and resistance to cold-checking. This ultraviolet-cured finish is also more environmentally friendly than traditional lacquer finishes. You can rest assured that your guitar's luscious finish will look just as great years from now as it does today.

Premium Taylor quality for smooth playability and great sound that only gets better with age
There's nothing like a Taylor. Once you get your hands on the 512 12-Fret, you'll never want to play anything else! But, what is it that makes a Taylor acoustic so good? For starters, each Taylor is made out of premium tonewoods, for great sound that only gets better with age. You'll also love the easy playing neck. Even if you're primarily an electric player, you'll feel totally comfortable getting around on this neck. Another Taylor hallmark is their commitment to consistent quality and attention to detail - no flawed "built on a Friday afternoon" guitars here! From the innovative neck joint to the durable, top-notch finish, your Taylor is built to play and sound absolutely great, right from the moment you pick it up. Don't settle for less; treat yourself to a Taylor!

Sweetwater ALWAYS exceeds my expectation in sales, customer service and knowledge on the gear being sold to me. Sweetwater is my #1 choice to buy equipment from the first time I ordered. I find of great value the fact that I don't feel like one more customer, rather THE customer.
