The Steel-String Feel. The Nylon-String Soul.

The Taylor 212ce-N Plus is built for players who want the warmth and expressiveness of nylon strings without abandoning the familiar feel of a steel-string acoustic. A slim neo-tropical mahogany neck with a 1-7/8" nut width bridges the gap — approachable for crossover players, nuanced enough for dedicated nylon players.

Why the 212ce-N Plus Stands Apart

• Solid Torrefied Spruce Top — Torrefaction accelerates the aging process, delivering an open, resonant response typically found in vintage instruments. More complex tone, right out of the box.
• Layered Indian Rosewood Back & Sides — Warm, balanced projection with the dimensional stability that layered construction provides — ideal for players in varying climates.
• ES-N Electronics — Taylor's nylon-string-specific pickup system captures the natural sweetness of gut and nylon strings without the harsh piezo edge. Stage and studio ready.
• Grand Concert Body with Venetian Cutaway — Comfortable, focused body size with full upper-fret access. Ideal for fingerstyle, classical crossover, and studio work.
• 12-Fret Design — Enhances warmth and sustain by positioning the neck joint further from the soundhole, allowing the top to vibrate more freely.
• Ebony Fretboard — Adds clarity, sustain, and a smooth playing surface that complements the nylon string experience.
