Taylor 362ce 12-Fret 12-String Grand Concert Acoustic-Electric Guitar Shaded Edge Burst

The Taylor 362ce 12-Fret 12-String Grand Concert acoustic-electric guitar provides a comfortable playing experience and signature 12-string sound. Taylor's 300 Series has introduced countless musicians to the pleasures of an all-solid-wood guitar. With its compact Grand Concert body shape, tropical mahogany back and sides, and V-Class bracing, the 362ce serves up a balanced tone with rich midrange and shimmering highs. The hardwood top helps focus the sound with minimal overtones, while the mahogany neck offers a smooth playing feel. The 362ce is ideal for fingerstyle and light strumming, with enough projection to shine through when performing with other instruments. Compact Body Delivers Controlled Overtones The Grand Concert body shape is slightly smaller than Taylor's Grand Auditorium, yielding controlled overtones so the sound won't occupy too much sonic space. This allows the 362ce to be heard clearly when playing with other instruments. The intimate size also makes it comfortable to play whether sitting or standing. The compact body provides an articulate voice with chimey highs, perfect for intricate fingerpicking passages and light strumming. Premium Tonewoods Produce a Balanced Tone The 362ce's solid tropical mahogany top, back and sides produce a balanced tone with a strong midrange and restrained overtones. Mahogany responds well to assertive playing styles but has natural compression that smooths out your technique. Its clear, direct tone allows the 362ce to cut through when performing with other instruments. The hardwood top helps focus the sound with minimal overtones for a clear, focused tone. V-Class Bracing Improves Playability and Tuning Taylor's revolutionary V-Class bracing improves the 362ce's volume, sustain and tuning. The bracing creates notes that ring out with more clarity and consistency for a musical playing experience. V-Class bracing also makes the 362ce easier to tune precisely. You'll appreciate how the purer pitch sounds more solid and resonant. The improved intonation means chords and melodies ring sweeter up and down the fingerboard. Express Yourself With the ES2 Electronics The 362ce comes equipped with Taylor's ES2 pickup, providing a natural acoustic sound when plugged in. The ES2 captures the nuances of your playing dynamics and the guitar's tonewood resonance. A volume knob and tone control let you shape the amplified sound to suit the venue or recording equipment. The 362ce gives you an inspiring acoustic experience whether playing unplugged or amplified on stage.
