Taylor 612ce V-Class Bracing Acoustic/Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitars

612ce
Taylor’s cutaway maple/spruce Grand Concert has been newly enhanced with V-Class bracing, their internal sonic engine that powers this compact guitar to produce louder volume and longer sustain with improved overall tonality.
Rich, warm and complex, the new bracing adds extra depth to the Grand Concert body’s natural clarity and top-end chime. Tone-enhancing strokes include a torrefied (specially roasted) top that yields wonderfully aged tonal character and an ultra-thin, 3.5-mil gloss finish to enhance the guitar’s acoustic resonance. Together with a hand-friendly short-scale neck, the 612ce sounds and plays like a dream. A hand-rubbed “Brown Sugar” stain on the back and sides gives maple’s striking figure a beautiful violin-hued appearance. Featured appointments include new grained ivoroid Wings fretboard inlays, an inlaid ebony backstrap, ebony binding with grained ivoroid purfling, an ebony/grained ivoroid rosette, and a striped ebony pickguard, with Taylor’s stage-ready Expression System 2 pickup onboard.

FEATURES
Grand Concert Body Shape: A smaller-bodied guitar ideally suited for fingerstyle.
Sitka Spruce Top: The soundboard choice for most guitars, Sitka spruce produces a broad dynamic range and accommodates a versatile range of playing styles.
Maple Back & Sides: Revoiced to produce greater warmth, complexity, volume, sustain and responsiveness.
Expression System 2 Electronics: The Expression System 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.
Venetian Cutaway: The Venetian cutaway is known for its soft, round lines. The sloping peak of the cutaway will vary depending on the shape of the guitar.
V-Class Bracing: A revolutionary design that balances the flexibility and stability of the top, V-Class bracing produces unmatched sustain, volume, and intonation.
