Taylor 412ce R

For over 40 years, Taylor Guitars has been a top choice for musicians across genres, delivering exceptional craftsmanship, unique tonal signatures, and premium playability. The Taylor 412e-R Grand Concert V-Class Acoustic-Electric Guitar continues this tradition, offering balanced projection, extended sustain, and superior intonation. Positioned between Taylor’s entry-level and high-end models, the 412e-R is perfect for fingerstyle players, flatpickers, and strummers alike.

Superior Tonewoods and Construction

The 412e-R features a Sitka spruce top, known for its bright, clear projection and high-end sparkle, paired with Indian rosewood back and sides, which add depth, warmth, and rich overtones. This combination makes it a versatile choice for both solo performances and ensemble settings. The mahogany neck with a Crelicam ebony fingerboard provides a smooth, responsive playing experience, while the Italian acrylic Renaissance inlays add a touch of elegance.

Innovative V-Class Bracing for Enhanced Performance

Taylor’s V-Class bracing is a game-changer in acoustic guitar design, offering a perfect balance between volume and sustain. Unlike traditional X-bracing, V-Class bracing allows the soundboard to be both stiff and flexible, improving projection, sustain, and natural intonation. This harmonizes chord voicings, ensuring a fuller, more dynamic sound.

Grand Concert Body for Balanced Tonal Response

The Grand Concert body shape is ideal for fingerstyle players who want focused tones and clarity without excessive bass overtones. The 24.87" scale length provides narrower fret spacing, ensuring a comfortable, effortless playing experience. Whether you're recording, performing live, or playing at home, the 412e-R delivers balanced, articulate tones.

Taylor Expression System 2 Electronics for Stage-Ready Sound

The Taylor Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics accurately capture the guitar’s natural acoustic tone, making it stage-ready with minimal adjustments. Featuring a three-section proprietary pickup behind the saddle, this system provides dynamic, authentic sound reproduction. The discreet volume and tone controls allow for on-the-fly adjustments, while the phase switch minimizes feedback in live settings.
