12-string Acoustic-electric Designed for Fingerstyle
Traditionally, 12-string guitars have dreadnought body shapes that produce a powerful and boomy low end. For fingerstyle players, the huge bass response isn’t always desirable. That’s where the Taylor 362ce 12-string acoustic-electric guitar comes in. It’s built with a Grand Concert body shape that tightens up the bass and provides a more balanced tone. This is thanks to the 362ce’s full mahogany build which adds balanced midrange. The 362ce has a 12-fret neck joint and condensed 24-7/8-inch scale length that make the strings feel slinky and easy to fret. Designed for fingerstylists, the Taylor 362ce may be the best-playing 12-string Taylor yet.

Full mahogany construction
The 362ce’s all-mahogany construction adds richness and warmth to the classic 12-string sound. Sweetwater guitarists find the 362ce has a slightly darker more vintage sound than a typical spruce top Taylor guitar or more traditional 12-strings. When strumming chords, it still delivers the signature treble punch that Taylors are known for, a quality that really helps the 362ce shine in dense live mixes.
Taylor ES2 electronics deliver natural and dynamic amplified sound
Artists who play plugged in will appreciate the Taylor 362ce’s natural-sounding Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics. This system features a 3-section proprietary pickup located behind the guitar’s saddle to better capture the natural vibrations of the saddle. On the upper bout, you have access to a master Volume, Bass, and Treble controls. Once you plug in your ES2 electronics, you’ll hear the difference.
Cutting-edge bracing pattern
Taylor has been introducing innovations since they burst onto the guitar market. From glue-less neck joints to advanced pickup designs, Taylor consistently brings cutting-edge innovations to traditional guitar-building techniques. V-Class bracing is Taylor’s proprietary bracing pattern that provides a more orderly sound and better intonation. V-Class guitars produce strong volume and sustain much longer than their traditionally braced counterparts.
