Sound Pure's Take
I'm in love with this guitar! Extremely comfortable scale, I'm reminded why Taylor has developed such a reputation for their necks. The feel on this is incredible! Premium wood combos and high end, but not gaudy, appointments. V Class bracing showing that Taylor is not afraid to innovate. A great example of a Taylor guitar for new and current fans alike.
From Taylor Guitars
The Grand Concert’s intimate body size and short-scale neck make for a comfortable playing experience that fingerstyle players are bound to love. The 12-fret version of the 812ce yields a slightly different character than the 14-fret because the bridge position is closer to the center of the lower bout and because the bracing profile was modified to emphasize a bolder attack. Players can expect plenty of the Grand Concert’s signature articulation with a slightly meatier, more robust tonal output. This year’s edition features our V-Class bracing design, which bolsters this small-bodied guitar with added projection and sustain, bringing out more of Indian rosewood’s harmonic complexity. If you like a slightly darker, punchier quality in a small guitar, the 812ce 12-Fret is a great choice.
