Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Taylor’s PS12ce places a stripy sinker redwood top over Honduran rosewood back and sides in a Grand Concert acoustic-electric format. The smaller body is described as comfortable to play with a focused voice, making its acoustic character well suited to fingerstyle and light strumming. V-Class bracing is part of the construction. For amplified work, the Expression System 2 uses a behind-the-saddle transducer with adjustable sensors, volume, active bass and treble controls, and an onboard phase switch. A Taylor deluxe brown hardshell case is included.
