Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Taylor’s 812ce-N pairs a Grand Concert body with nylon strings, a cutaway, and ES-N electronics. Its solid Sitka spruce top works with rosewood back and sides, while the tropical mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard shape the playing layout. For amplified use, the ES-N system provides Volume, Bass, and Treble controls, giving the player direct adjustment at the instrument. The compact body is described as balanced and comfortable on the leg, and a Taylor Deluxe Hardshell case is included for carrying the guitar.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Amplified nylon-string performances needing onboard adjustment of volume, bass, and treble controls.
- Players moving from steel-string guitar who want the described familiar neck feel.
- Carrying the guitar in the included Taylor Deluxe Hardshell case between sessions.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players; the guitar is specified as right handed.
