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, then the Taylor 312ce Grand Concert is your guitar.

Solid sapele backs and sides and gloss-finished Sitka spruce tops provide a clear, balanced tone, while wood fiber binding, large pearl dot fretboard inlays, and chrome Taylor tuners streamline the look.
Sitka spruce top, sapele back and sidesThe warm yet snappy tone of sapele balances the bright characteristics of a Sitka spruce top. The resulting combination provides the perfect guitar for strong, rhythmic playing styles.
Clear-sounding and comfortable Grand Concert bodyThe Taylor 312ce 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 312ce Grand Concert ideal for fingerstyle playing.
Satin finish with gloss topThe 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 ultraviolet-cured finish is also more environmentally friendly than traditional lacquer finishes. Available in natural finish.
Taylor Expression SystemDesigned to faithfully reproduce your guitar's native tone, the Expression System utilizes patented Dynamic Sensors to capture top and string vibration like never before. The Taylor ES is seamlessly integrated into the design of the guitar from the ground up. Onboard tone controls provide added flavor, or you can set it flat for an uncolored, exceptionally clean, amplified sound.
