The 512ce 12-Fret offers a totally unique experience within the Taylor line, blending the responsive sound of solid mahogany and cedar with a compact, relaxed feel. The mahogany back and sides serve up a woody, focused midrange, while cedar’s softer quality gives this guitar a remarkable warmth and sensitivity to a soft-touch—a perfect combo for players who use a wide dynamic range. Inside, the V-Class bracing scheme dials up greater volume and longer sustain, and the built-in ES2 electronics provide faithful tone in amplified settings. Other specs include a slotted headstock, a genuine West African ebony fretboard and Century inlays in grained ivoroid. It ships with a deluxe hardshell case.
