Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Taylor’s 312ce-N is a right-handed, six-string nylon acoustic-electric built around a compact Grand Concert body for fingerstyle playing. Solid sapele back and sides meet a solid Sitka spruce top, bringing warmth and depth alongside articulation and dynamic range. The single cutaway reaches the ebony fingerboard’s upper area. For live performance or recording, ES-N undersaddle electronics provide onboard volume, treble, and bass control. A deluxe hardshell case is included.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Fingerstyle playing that benefits from the compact Grand Concert body and single-cutaway upper-fret access.
- Live or studio nylon-string parts requiring onboard volume, treble, and bass adjustment.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
