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

The Taylor 362ce Grand Concert 12-string acoustic-electric guitar features a stunning combination of playability, intonation and tone for an overall beautiful sounding instrument designed to last a lifetime. Its Grand Concert body size is slightly smaller and yields controlled overtones, allowing it to be heard more clearly. The Grand Concert pairs well with the 362ce’s 12-fret neck-to-body construction, producing an articulate voice with top-end chime that’s well suited to fingerstyle players, light strummers and flatpickers.The top of the 362ce is made of tropical mahogany, which has a meaty midrange with strong fundamentals, without adding a lot of ringing overtones. It responds well to players with a strong attack who like dry, earthy, lo-fi sounds, and has a natural compression that smooths out strumming and picking technique. The 362ce also includes the Taylor Double-Compensated Saddle, so that each of the 12 strings are precisely compensated for intonation and individual string height, making them more even in height across the picking system. Plus, with the slim neck profile for precise and low action, the result is incredibly comfortable “handfeel�?for a 12-string guitar.Enjoy additional amplification with the Taylor Expression System 2, which features a patented behind-the-saddle pickup. It has three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors, allowing all the nuance of the guitar’s tone to come through clearly, whether playing acoustically or plugged in. Together with Taylor’s custom-designed “professional audio�?grade preamp, this system produces exceptional amplified tone and responsiveness. The Taylor ES2 operates through a proprietary 9-volt battery compartment and easy-to-use volume, and active bass and treble controls.Additional appointments to the 362ce include a West African ebony fingerboard and bridge, Taylor satin black tuners with satin black buttons and a TUSQ nut. Comes with a Taylor deluxe hardshell case.
