Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

One of the finest Taylors we've seen in a while!  Recently made, extremely clean, and just a great sounding guitar.  They may not be the loudest models but Taylor's Grand Concerts have a wonderful richness, punch, and precision that make for a comfortable, gratifying playing experience every time.  The Lutz/EIR is always a guaranteed win with Taylor.  Great appointments, too!

SP Luthier Notes: Fretwork, Setup

From Taylor Guitars

Featuring the all-star tonewood combination of Indian rosewood and spruce, the 712ce offers a compact playing experience coupled with lush, warm acoustic tone. The Grand Concert body offers a welcoming feel with strong tonal definition and clarity, making it a great choice for fingerstyle players or anyone seeking a smaller-body guitar. The rosewood/spruce combination generates sparkling trebles and warm lows with a sligthly scooped midrange, and the Lutz top offers a higher volume ceiling than other spruce variants like Sitka. With wood-focused appointments, built-in ES2 electronics and a hardshell case, the 712ce is ready to serve up vibrant, articulate sound in any circumstance.
