Taylor Next Generation 712ce 12‐Fret Acoustic Electric Guitar - Natural

Built for players who value nuance, touch sensitivity and tonal sophistication, the Taylor Next Generation 712ce offers an acoustic experience that rewards every subtle detail of a performance. Its compact Grand Concert body pairs a responsive Western Red Cedar top with East Indian rosewood back and sides to produce warm lows, sparkling highs and rich harmonic complexity — a voice that especially appeals to fingerstyle players and musicians with a dynamic touch.

Cedar responds effortlessly to a lighter attack, while rosewood adds deep lows and lush overtones, letting every note and chord speak with clarity and depth. Taylor's latest scalloped V-Class bracing brings greater warmth, richer open-string resonance and fuller low end while preserving the projection, clarity and pitch accuracy that define Taylor's modern acoustic sound — the result is impressive sustain and an open, articulate character across the entire fretboard.

Slightly smaller than a Grand Auditorium, the Grand Concert body delivers focused projection and controlled overtones, occupying its own space in recordings and ensemble settings without overwhelming the mix. It's comfortable for extended playing, and the Venetian cutaway makes upper-fret work easy. The innovative long-tenon Action Control neck strengthens the neck-to-body connection for added warmth, resonance and sustain, and allows quick, precise string-height adjustments without removing the neck or strings. A satin-finished neo-tropical mahogany neck, genuine West African ebony fingerboard and ebony bridge create a fast, smooth, durable playing surface.

Developed with input from touring artists and live sound engineers, Taylor's Claria electronics deliver clear, natural amplified tone with intuitive controls for shaping a great live sound. Elegant details including Green Abalone Reflections inlays, a green abalone rosette and gold Taylor tuning machines reinforce the premium aesthetic, and the included Taylor Deluxe brown hardshell case keeps it protected between gigs.
