A Super-comfortable Taylor with a Timeless Tone!

Taylor's 712ce acoustic-electric guitar combines tried-and-true tonewoods and one of Taylor's most comfortable body styles to give you an instrument that's perfect for a wide range of playing techniques and musical styles. With a 712ce, you get the bright and airy sound of an Engelmann spruce top accompanied by the powerful and clear voice of an Indian rosewood back and sides. You'll love the way the 712ce guitar sounds unplugged, but it also comes loaded with Taylor's Expression System electronics, so it sounds fantastic when you plug in onstage as well. And thanks to its small Grand Concert body style, Taylor's 712ce is easily one of their most comfortable guitars.





Taylor 712ce Acoustic-electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • A classic tonewoods combination - Engelmann spruce and Indian rosewood
  • Super-comfortable Grand Concert body style provides excellent tonal balance
  • Renowned Taylor Expression System electronics

A classic tonewoods combination - Engelmann spruce and Indian rosewood
Nothing beats the sound of real rosewood topped with spruce - and that's exactly what you get with the Taylor 712ce. It features a beautiful Engelmann spruce top, which gives you wonderful projection and the perfect amount of sparkle. Add to that the balanced tone and astonishing projection of the 712ce's Indian rosewood back and sides, and you have a guitar with timeless tone.

Super-comfortable Grand Concert body style provides excellent tonal balance
Arguably Taylor's most comfortable body style, the 712ce's smaller than average Grand Concert shape is the perfect fit for anyone looking for a more manageable instrument. That makes the 712ce a particularly good choice if you're a finger-stylest or if you have shorter arms.

Renowned Taylor Expression System electronics
Designed to faithfully reproduce your guitar's native tone, the Taylor 712ce's Expression System uses patented Dynamic Sensors to capture both top and string vibration with incredible detail. The Taylor ES system was created in partnership with renowned audio pioneer Rupert Neve. Unlike standard onboard electronics, the Taylor Expression System is seamlessly integrated into the design of the 712ce from the ground up. Onboard tone controls provide added flavor, or can be set flat for an uncolored, exceptionally clean amplified sound.

Taylor 712ce Acoustic-electric Guitar Features:
  • An acoustic-electric guitar that's great for a wide range of playing styles
  • Smaller than average Grand Concert body style is extremely comfortable
  • Engelmann spruce provides a bright and balanced tone
  • Indian rosewood back and sides add clarity and projection
  • Onboard Taylor Expression System electronics give you natural sound even when plugged in live
  • Hardshell case included

If you're looking for a comfortable acoustic-electric guitar with a timeless sound, then the Taylor 712ce is just what you need!
