Taylor 512ce – Urban Ironbark
***This guitar has a professionally repaired crack near the bridge, which can be seen in the photos***
The Taylor 512ce marks a bold evolution in the 500 Series, introducing Urban Red Ironbark as a premium back and sides tonewood. Paired with a torrefied Sitka spruce top, the Taylor 512ce delivers a sweet, muscular voice with a high-fidelity sound profile that yields piano-like fidelity and a warm, woody character. The compact Grand Concert body shape ensures an intimate and physically comfortable playing experience, while the V-Class bracing architecture enhances volume and sustain across the entire frequency spectrum. Finished in a rich Urban Ironbark stain that accentuates the wood's natural depth, this instrument is a sophisticated choice for fingerstyle players and strummers alike who value tonal complexity and exceptional playability.
