Taylor 212ce N Plus

The Taylor 212ce-N Plus brings the warm, expressive tone of nylon strings to a modern stage-ready platform. Designed for guitarists transitioning from steel-string to nylon, this Grand Concert acoustic-electric features premium tonewoods, a comfortable neck profile, and Taylor’s advanced ES-N electronics, making it the perfect choice for both classical and contemporary fingerstyle players.

Premium Tonewoods for Superior Sound

Built with a torrefied solid spruce top, the 212ce-N Plus produces a rich, resonant voice with enhanced clarity and projection. The Indian rosewood back and sides add warmth, depth, and a balanced midrange, making this guitar versatile enough for delicate fingerpicking, flamenco flourishes, and singer-songwriter accompaniment. The torrefaction process further refines the spruce top’s musicality, sustain, and aesthetic appeal, giving it a naturally aged tone.

Grand Concert Body – Comfortable and Expressive

Taylor’s Grand Concert body shape is renowned for its intimate, articulate tone and exceptional playing comfort. The smaller body size and short-scale fingerboard provide a relaxed playing experience, making it ideal for solo performances, recording sessions, and long practice hours. The Venetian cutaway ensures easy access to upper frets, expanding your melodic range.

Designed for Crossover Players

Unlike traditional classical guitars, the 212ce-N Plus is built for guitarists transitioning from steel-string acoustics. Its Standard Carve neo-tropical mahogany neck, 1.875-inch nut width, and 20-inch-radius Crelicam ebony fingerboard offer a familiar feel while maintaining the expressive touch of nylon strings. Whether you’re strumming, fingerpicking, or playing intricate melodies, this guitar provides smooth, effortless playability.

Taylor ES-N Electronics – Pure and Natural Tone

The Taylor ES-N pickup system is designed specifically for nylon-string guitars, delivering a clear, authentic amplified sound. Using patented Dynamic Sensors, the ES-N system captures the guitar’s natural resonance and warmth, ensuring an accurate representation of its unplugged tone. The intuitive onboard tone and volume controls allow for easy sound shaping in live or studio settings.
