Taylor 312ce V-Class Acoustic-electric Guitar - Natural Reviews
Combining understated aesthetics, tone-enhancing details, and amazing value, Taylor’s 300 Series guitars are incredibly popular. The richly grained Sitka spruce top of the 312ce Grand Concert V-Class acoustic-electric pairs beautifully with its sapele back and sides to deliver a powerful, beautifully balanced sound with punchy midrange focus and clear treble — a sound forged by Taylor’s revolutionary V-Class bracing and amplified flawlessly by the onboard Expression System 2 electronics. The 312ce is a perennial favorite here at Sweetwater, and it’s easy to see — and hear — why. While you delight in its beautiful tone, your eyes will savor the 312ce’s tasteful appointments.

Such a great guitar for fingerstyle
My first real decent guitar was a Breedlove which I still love and play to this day but this taylor has launched my playing to a whole new level. I had gotten to a point where I was experimenting with more finger style guitar playing and knew an upgrade was needed. Pulling the trigger on this investment was cautions because of not seeing the guitar in person or being able to play it but I was happily surprised when it came. Everything was set up really well with some small issues not worth making a big deal about. (No 20 point or 5000 point inspection will be truly detailed, is what it is. Profit over quality rules). I was able to learn James Tailor songs and am in my way to even more complex playing. Worth the price, just know that you'll still want to take it to a guitar shop for a setup and checkout as the inspection isn't as thorough as stated by Sweetwater.
Decent guitar. Terrible electronics
The V-Class 312ce is a well built guitar with easy playability. The smaller size and slightly shorter scale helps, particularly if you are a finger style player. Woods are nicely grained. The Taylor ES2 amplification system is an abomination. Shame on Taylor for making such a nice guitar and putting in substandard electronics. The bottom of the line Fishman systems sound better than this. All of the LR Baggs systems are better. This is piezo at it's worse. The pickups poles are tunable with a small Allen wrench (not provided) but there is no adjusting a poorly designed system. I have played
acoustic electric guitars that were a third of the price that sounded better amplified.
