Beautiful 2020 Taylor 412e-N Grand Concert nylon-string acoustic-electric, in exceptionally clean condition.

The 412e-N is Taylor's USA-made nylon-string crossover: a full-quality, all-solid-wood Taylor designed to give steel-string and electric players the warmth and responsiveness of nylon strings without requiring the transition to the much wider, flatter neck of a traditional classical guitar.

This particular guitar is an exceptionally nice example. I can find virtually no cosmetic wear on it — no significant scratches, dings or other marks. I'm primarily a fingerstyle player, and the guitar has seen very gentle use. Please look closely at the photographs, as they show the actual condition of the instrument.

It also plays beautifully. The Grand Concert body is comfortable and responsive, and the 1-7/8" nut and radiused ebony fingerboard make this a remarkably approachable nylon-string guitar for players accustomed to steel-string acoustics.

The solid Sitka spruce top and solid ovangkol back and sides produce a clear, articulate nylon-string voice with excellent definition and balance. It's equally at home with fingerstyle playing, jazz, Brazilian-influenced material, accompaniment, or anywhere a warm nylon-string texture is called for.

Taylor's onboard ES-N electronics make it equally useful on stage or for direct recording.

Serial number: 1207150039, dating the guitar to July 15, 2020.

This is a beautiful example of a discontinued, USA-made Taylor nylon crossover. It offers the warmth and expressive character of nylon strings with the familiar playability and build quality of a Taylor acoustic.

If you're primarily a steel-string or electric guitarist who has wanted a serious nylon-string instrument without committing to the dimensions and feel of a traditional classical guitar, the 412e-N is an especially compelling design.
