Taylor 112ce Acoustic-electric Guitar - Natural Sapele Reviews
Crisp fingerpicking sessions and performance-worthy power await within the limited-edition 112ce acoustic-electric guitar from Taylor. An extremely supple maple neck makes transitions on the fretboard comfortable and swift. The 112ce's solid Sitka spruce and sapele back and sides tonewood combination provides you with the perfect balance of warmth, clarity, and stability. When paired with its recognizable Grand Concert body style, it's no wonder the 112ce is so popular among performers here at Sweetwater. Speaking of which, the onboard ES2 electronics translate your true acoustic tone when plugged in, so you can gig with confidence. Make sure to reserve your 112ce before it's too late!

Plays like a dream!
Absolutely in love with this guitar. I was looking for something slightly smaller than a dreadnought for comfort. This guitar exceeded my expectations. It is light weight, thin and sounds great!! I can stand and play it comfortably, which was a struggle with the dreadnought. Unplugged it is a little quieter, but that is not really an issue. I can see me playing this guitar for years!
Great Sound--better than a martin
I compared botresonating sound h Martins and this Taylor and there was no comparison, a nicer deeper resonating sound and nicer action and playability.
perfect gigging instrument

Taylor hosed themselves on this one.
Prior to the 112ce, you had to spend considerably more money to get this body shape & scale length. When this came out I immediately impulse purchased it. Among the best gear dollars I've ever spent.

Perfect for a working musician.
At this price point, it pays for itself in a few gigs. Which means you can afford to not be precious about it—drunk guy knocks it over? TSA destroys it? Someone steals it? Eh, no big deal, just buy another one.

Gig bag FTW.
Hard cases are heavy. Most don't protect all that well. Flight attendants don't want them on the plane and baggage handlers don't hesitate to toss them around. This gig bag is a solid 8/10. Taylor's Aerocase and Mono's Vertigo are both better, but not so much better that I'm in a hurry to upgrade.

The ES-2 is amazing!
People trash talk it all the time, but they're just using it wrong. Here's how not to use it:
4a
Bad playing = bad sound.
Some pickups will hide your shortcomings. The ES-2 won't. Think of it like a microphone. When your pick hits the top? When your fingers squeak while sliding on the strings? That's coming through loud & clear. It's sensitive to the point that you can clearly hear your singing coming through the pickup.
4b
Bad PA = bad sound.
If you're using a system that can't produce the full range of frequencies, this pickup will sound bad—thin, harsh, shrill. It especially needs that bass response.
4c
Standard eq curves = bad sound.
If you blindly (deafly?) apply the standard "acoustic guitar" EQ (or presets), it's going to neuter everything that's good about this pickup. Instead of a high-pass that dumps everything below 100Hz, try a narrow-Q notch at 175. Depending on the room, 700 might get a little boomy too. This is doubly true when you're talking about a solo performance & not a band context.
Better than before
I'm new to "attempting" to learn to play the guitar but wanted to buy something that would help me in every way. This was the perfect, cost effective choice. It's so much better then my previous shoe box with rubber bands and if nothing else, it is a beautiful conversation piece. Truly sounds super clean even with me strumming it. So very pleased, now to learn how to play it. Thanks Sweetwater
Really great guitar or the value has the tailor sound
I really love this guitar. Add a very great for Rich sound. I am a Martin bigot, so I did return it, but not for the reasons of quality or sound or anyway it is a brilliant guitar by playing bluegrass you can't beat the Martin sound however, for example Pearl Jam songs or songs where you want a real full round it out sound this guitar is brilliant it is also very lightweight and obviously not a dreadnought size guitar, but it is a five on a scale of one to 10 as far as size if that makes sense.
