Built from solid ovangkol for the back and sides and dynamic sitka spruce for its top, the Taylor 412ce Grand Concert acoustic-electric guitar offers above-and-beyond playability. Boasting a Venetian cutaway, a short-scale neck, and a smaller body, the 412ce will give you a crisp, bright frequency response, particularly in mids and highs. The post-2004 models also sport the Expression System 2 electronics rather than the Fishman Prefix unit.
