With its compact frame, solid-wood construction and key performance-enhancing innovations, the Next Generation 312ce is a compelling choice for acoustic players of all stripes. This Grand Concert acoustic-electric boasts a solid Sitka spruce top paired with sapele back and sides, which combine with scalloped V-Class interior bracing to yield a clear and responsive voice accented by impressive volume, blooming sustain and surprising low-end presence for its smaller size.

The Action Control Neck and its long-tenon joint add even more resonance while making it easy to dial in your perfect feel without needing to detune or remove the strings. For players looking to plug in, our new Claria electronics and their intuitive soundhole-mounted controls offer supremely adaptable, stage-ready sound for live situations. Appointments include black binding with black and white top edge trim, a white single-ring rosette, faux-pearl Weathervane inlays, a firestripe pickguard and a full-body natural gloss finish.
