Although X-bracing has been standard in acoustic guitars for over a century, it creates an innate conflict between two key elements of a guitar’s sound: volume and sustain. The guitar’s top (its soundboard) contributes to both. The flexibility of the top generates volume (projection), while its stiffness generates sustain. And with X-braced guitar tops, here’s where the trade-off comes in: when something is made stiffer, its flexibility is reduced (and vice versa). V-Class bracing changes all that. With Taylor’s V-Class bracing, an acoustic guitar top can be both stiff and flexible, for more volume and sustain. V-Class bracing provides stiffness parallel to the strings for more rigidity and hence sustain. Flexibility on either side generates the air movement necessary for robust projection. It’s the best of both worlds. This groundbreaking innovation also improves intonation by producing notes that are not only louder and have longer sustain, but they’re also more in tune with each other. V-Class bracing boosts volume evenly across the tonal spectrum, increases sustain, and improves the natural intonation of the instrument by creating a more synergistic response from the soundboard. This fosters a more harmonious relationship between the notes you play, helping chords to ring out in cohesive splendor. Pick up a Taylor with V-Class bracing and experience it for yourself.Ideal for fingerstyle and tracking For fingerstyle and tracking, Sweetwater’s guitar gurus favor Taylor’s Grand Concert body style, which gives you clarity and balanced tone that lend itself to layering with other instruments in thicker arrangements where a larger-bodied acoustic would take up too much sonic real estate. This guitar’s smaller Grand Concert body and tapered waist not only make it a great studio and stage guitar, but its short scale and lighter string tension also make it easier to play — perfect for younger players with small hands. It also makes for a more efficient design; the smaller body is inherently stronger, which enables it to be more lightly braced, making it easier to set the strings in motion.Exceptional tonewoods deliver timeless tone As a top tonewood, Sitka spruce offers a combination of strength and elasticity that delivers a broad dynamic range with crisp articulation that’s ideal for a wide range of playing styles, from delicate fingerpicking to aggressive flatpicked strumming. Sapele, used for the back and sides of the 312ce, is tonally similar to mahogany, but its higher density tends to produce a slightly brighter sound with more high-end shimmer. The characteristic sapele sound is consistently balanced across the tonal spectrum, which makes it, again, suitable to a broad range of playing styles. Cutting-edge Taylor Expression System 2 electronics If you play plugged in, then you’re going to love the Taylor Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics built into your 312ce. The key to this fantastic system is the 3-section proprietary pickup located behind the saddle. Because of where it’s positioned and how it’s integrated into the guitar’s saddle, the ES2 pickup provides you with remarkably clear and accurate sound. In addition to a master volume control, a pair of tone controls lets you tweak your highs and lows to get the sound you need, and a discreet polarity switch offers vital onboard feedback suppression.Taylor 312ce Grand Concert V-Class Acoustic-electric Guitar Features: Solid Sitka spruce top with V-Class bracing; satin finish Solid sapele back and sides; satin finish Tropical mahogany neck, Standard profile; satin finish Ebony fingerboard, 15-inch radius, 20 frets, Diamond inlays Ebony bridge and pins; Micarta saddle 1-3/4-inch TUSQ nut; Taylor tuners Taylor ES2 electronics 24-7/8-inch scale length SpecificationDetail String Type Steel Number of Strings 6 Left-/Right-handed Right-handed Body Shape Grand Concert Back & Sides Wood Sapele Top Wood Sitka Spruce Finish Gloss Color Natural Body Bracing V-bracing Binding Black and White Neck Wood Tropical Mahogany Neck Shape Standard Radius 15" Fingerboard Material West African Ebony Fingerboard Inlay Diamonds Number of Frets 20 Scale Length 24.84" Nut Width 1.75" Nut/Saddle Material Graphite/Micarta Bridge Material Ebony Tuning Machines Taylor Nickel Electronics ES-2 Strings D'Addario XS Coated Phosphor Bronze Light, .012-.053 Case/Gig Bag Hardshell Case Body Length 19.5" Body Width 15" Body Depth 4.3" RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
