The Taylor 612ce Grand Concert acoustic-electric guitar, initially released in 1998, has undergone redesigns to give you richer, more complex tone. Maple comprises the back and sides of the 612ce, completed by a sitka spruce top for greater versatility and a short-scale neck for an extra playability factor. The sleek onboard Expression System 2 electronics, Venetian cutaway, and "Brown Sugar" stain on the back and sides give the Taylor 612ce extra flair.
