Taylor 712ce Left Handed 2011 Western Sunburst Electro Acoustic Guitar

Here for sale we have a Taylor 712ce Grand Concert electro acoustic guitar in Western Sunburst finish. Built in the USA in 2011 this guitar features a solid Engelmann Spruce top, solid Indian Rosewood back and sides, a 20 fret Mahogany neck, an Ebony fingerboard and bridge, along with a Taylor Expression System preamp, with controls for volume, treble and bass.

The semi-gloss finish neck plays well, offering a smooth and comfortable playing surface, and with a fairly moderate profile it will certainly suit the vast majority of players. The venetian cutaway gives excellent access to the upper register, while the Grand Concert body style sits at a nice halfway point between OM and dreadnought body styles, not feeling overly large, while still giving a really responsive playing experience.

The tone of the 712ce is very well balanced, with a warm low end, a tight and punchy midrange, along with a clear and articulate top end. The Expression System preamp really enhances the voice of the 712ce, with easy to use shoulder-mounted controls that and very accessible, yet still feel discreet. Overall a really well built electro acoustic in a gorgeous Western Sunburst finish.
