The Quintessential Small-bodied Acoustic Guitar

Pick up the Taylor 312 6-string Acoustic Guitar, and it'll be 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, the Taylor 312 Grand Concert is your guitar.

Clear-sounding and comfortable Grand Concert body

The Taylor 312 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 312 Grand Concert ideal for fingerstyle playing.

Sitka Spruce top, sapele back and sides

The warm yet snappy tone of sapele balances the bright and characteristics of a Sitka spruce top. The resulting combination provides clear, balanced tone - the perfect guitar for strong, rhythmic playing styles.

Superb Taylor 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.
