Taylor 712ce Next Generation Indian Rosewood/Cedar w/case

The Taylor 712ce Next Generation introduces a richer, warmer voice to the acclaimed Grand Concert platform, pairing solid Indian rosewood back and sides with a responsive Western Red Cedar top. Designed for players who appreciate nuance, articulation, and dynamic expression, this compact acoustic-electric blends the lush overtone complexity of rosewood with the touch sensitivity and warmth of cedar. The result is a remarkably expressive instrument that responds beautifully to both delicate fingerstyle playing and articulate strumming.

As part of Taylor's Next Generation lineup, the 712ce benefits from a collection of innovative design enhancements engineered by Andy Powers and the Taylor team. Scalloped V-Class bracing unlocks greater resonance, sustain, warmth, and low-end presence while preserving the clarity and note separation that Grand Concert players love. Combined with cedar's naturally responsive character, the result is a guitar that feels alive under your fingertips.

The Action Control Neck offers enhanced resonance through its long-tenon design while providing unmatched adjustability, allowing players to dial in their preferred setup with ease. Claria electronics faithfully capture the guitar's natural articulation and harmonic richness, making the 712ce equally at home on stage, in the studio, or in the living room.

Premium appointments include black body and fretboard binding, green abalone detailing throughout, gold tuning machines, ebony bridge pins with green abalone dots, Reflections inlays, and a gloss-finished natural body that showcases the beauty of its tonewoods.
