From Taylor,,Blending inspiring nylon-string tonal flavors with smooth playability, the 212ce-N Plus is a professional-level instrument that comes at an appealing price. Thanks to a 12-fret neck, slightly wider 1-7/8-inch nut width and slender Taylor neck, this cutaway Grand Concert is one of the most playable nylon-string guitars on the market. Pairing a solid torrefied spruce top with layered Indian rosewood back and sides yields an articulate, snappy sound that classical and steel-string players will find inspiring. Our roasting process for the soundboard adds a splash of played-in sweetness right out of the box. Specialized interior bracing ensures a clear, open voice that’s responsive to a light touch and long on sustain. An onboard ES-N pickup produces a natural, authentic nylon-string sound in amplified settings. This Plus model boasts a gloss-finished body with black binding, a slotted peghead, an Italian acrylic rosette, 4mm dot fretboard inlays and classical nickel tuners with faux pearl buttons. It ships in a lightweight, durable AeroCase.
