As new condition, fully setup in store

Lutz Spruce & Tasmanian Blackwood Construction

The Taylor 312ce 12-Fret NAMM LTD features a Lutz spruce top which is a natural hybrid of sitka and white spruce, combining the stunning characteristics of both to provide the player with incredible versatility and powerful tonal output. Additionally, Lutz spruce gives the player a sonically-powerful and beautifully rich soundboard that is able to accommodate a variety of techniques and genres with ease. The eye-catching Lutz spruce top is accompanied by Tasmanian blackwood back and sides which also provides a truly striking visual appeal as well as projecting a unique and sonically-pleasing tone. Furthermore, Tasmanian blackwood's tone closely resembles koa or mahogany within the mid-range, whilst its top-end shimmers beautifully and provides the player with the richness found in rosewood instruments.

Expression System 2
Equipped with high-quality ES2 electronics, the Taylor 312ce NAMM LTD is perfect for the more professional recording or performing musician. The ES2 is a revolutionary design that projects Taylor's incredible dedication to acoustic guitar amplification. Additionally, the ES2 pickup captures the guitar's natural acoustic voice as well as more dynamic properties using a unique and innovative behind-the-saddle design. With a behind-the-saddle design and three uniquely positioned pickup sensors, the Expression System 2 faithfully picks-up more of the Taylor's dynamic range for a true and clear representation of the guitar's acoustic voice. Furthermore, with the innovative pickup design combined with Taylor's custom-designed 'professional audio' - grade preamp, the overall system produces a premium yet exceptionally faithful amplified tone. With this, the Taylor 312ce NAMM LTD is perfect for studio use, stage work, professional tours, and the Taylor enthusiast craving a limited edition NAMM exclusive for their collection.

Performance Bracing
Equipped with performance bracing, the Taylor 312ce 12-Fret offers superior volume and projection, as well as an enhanced tone. In addition, Taylor's performance bracing features the standard X-brace but with modifications that influence how the top vibrates in relation to the back and sides. The overall result of Taylor's performance bracing is an enhanced tone with superb power and volume. Lastly, bracing is extremely important for the guitar's structure as it reinforces the overall body whilst preventing the guitar from collapsing under string tension.

Grand Concert Cutaway
Taylor's grand concert body is known for the incredible clarity and balance that reign within the comfortable and compact shape. Additionally, its shorter scale and lighter string tension provide easier playability, perfect for long, enduring sets. For added comfort, the Taylor 312ce also features a venetian cutaway profile, providing smooth, easy access to upper frets and more challenging chords with ease. Furthermore, the 312ce's grand concert body is certain to mix cleanly with other instruments when performing live on stage or recording in the studio, providing an idyllic instrument for the professional session musician. Delivering controlled overtones and a delicate, pure, and beautiful sonic-character, the 312ce becomes ideal for the fingerpicking enthusiast. Overall, with its smaller body and nipped in waist, the Taylor 312ce NAMM LTD is one of the ultimate instruments to take to the studio or the stage.

Venetian Cutaway
The Venetian Cutaway is renowned for its soft, round lines, creating a visually stunning look that is recognisable on any body. This type of cutaway allows easier access to the upper frets for a comfortable play, and enables you with more freedom throughout the fingerboard.
