TaylorPS12ce 12-Fret Grand Concert Acoustic-Electric Guitar Shaded Edge Burst

Product overview
About this model
The Taylor PS12ce Grand Concert acoustic-electric guitar provides serious musicians with an instrument of exquisite craftsmanship and rich, shimmering tone. Its compact Grand Concert body is made from premium tonewoods, including a sinker redwood top and Honduran rosewood back and sides, yielding a bold yet articulate voice. The 12-fret neck-to-body construction offers comfortable playability, especially suited to intricate fingerstyle techniques. With the PS12ce, your musical creativity will know no bounds. Premium Tonewoods Produce a Bold yet Articulate Voice The PS12ce's sinker redwood top and Honduran rosewood body give you great looks and dense, complex overtones. Together, these premium tonewoods generate a bold tone with piano-like bass, warm mids and shimmering highs that rings out confidently. The smaller Grand Concert body focuses the voice for articulation and balance, allowing the PS12ce to cut through a mix with ease. Serious musicians will appreciate the tonal nuance and power this combination provides. 12-Fret Construction Offers Comfort and Playability The PS12ce's 12-fret neck-to-body construction moves the neck joint up the fingerboard, providing a more compact feel. With the bridge moved closer to the center of the lower bout, the strings exert less leverage on the top. The result is a guitar that feels more comfortable and intimate to play, with enhanced clarity and sustain. For intricate fingerstyle work, the 12-fret design is ideal, allowing fast, fluid transitions across the fingerboard. Onboard Expression System 2 Provides Natural Amplified Tone The PS12ce features Taylor's ES2 pickup system for shaping your amplified tone. Its patented behind-the-saddle pickup captures the guitar's full acoustic resonance and nuance. The preamp's intuitive controls allow you to adjust bass, midrange, treble and volume with precision. Whether on stage or recording, you'll achieve a balanced, natural amplified tone that complements your playing style. The ES2 makes the PS12ce an endlessly versatile performance tool for serious musicians. Luxurious Touches Complete an Inspiring Instrument From its contoured ebony armrest to abalone trim, the PS12ce is crafted with artistry. The fingerboard, headstock and pickguard feature an intricate vine inlay rendered in mother-of-pearl and abalone. Chrome tuning machines keep the guitar in tune through dynamic performances. A premium hardshell case protects your investment when traveling between gigs or studios.
