Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Taylor’s 612e V-Class 12-Fret brings a compact Grand Concert body together with a solid torrified Sitka spruce top and solid figured Big Leaf maple back and sides. The 12-fret layout places the bridge nearer the lower-bout center, a design Taylor associates with strong projection and midrange warmth from this smaller body. V-Class bracing is designed to increase volume and sustain while improving intonation consistency. Plugged in, the ES2 behind-the-saddle pickup system provides volume, active bass, and treble adjustment.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Recording or ensemble performances where the Grand Concert’s controlled overtones leave room for other instruments.
- Players seeking a smaller, lap-friendly acoustic body with a compact 12-fret playing framework.
- Acoustic-electric performance requiring onboard volume, bass, and treble adjustment.
