Taylor 412ce-R Acoustic-electric Guitar at a Glance:
- Indian rosewood back and sides
- Expression System 2 electronics, for flawless amplified sound
- Grand Concert body
Indian rosewood back and sides
The 412ce-R 6-string acoustic-electric is one of Taylor's most affordable guitars built with solid Indian rosewood back and sides. Indian rosewood - considered by Bob Taylor to be one of the greatest tonewoods of all time - effortlessly adds depth to your low frequencies, sparkle to your high end, and a bit of a midrange scoop that aids in note definition. You'll enjoy all of this and more with your 412ce-R.
Expression System 2 electronics, for flawless amplified sound
Traditionally, acoustic-electric guitars have employed piezo transducers under their bridge saddles. But Taylor's Expression System 2 is different. It uses a proprietary pickup behind the saddle. The pickup features three individually calibrated, precisely positioned piezo-electric sensors that respond organically to the instrument's acoustic energy as it's transferred through the saddle. In concert with Taylor's custom-designed, studio-grade preamp, the result is a natural acoustic sound with incredible dynamic range and responsiveness to your pick or finger attack.
Grand Concert body
Taylor's Grand Concert body design is well suited for fingerstyle players who want a focused tone that brings out the best in their technique. Your tones will remain balanced across the frequency spectrum, while minimizing the huge lows and overtones that may be desirable in much larger-bodied instruments. And fretting is extremely comfortable due to the 24.87" scale length's narrower fret spacing. You'll fall in love with the controlled, rich tones and effortless playability of the 412ce-R.
