Taylor 112ce-N Nylon-String Grand Concert Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Torrefied Spruce/Sapele, Natural

For players who can't help but feel the draw of nylon string fingerstyle, Taylor Guitars drops in with the Taylor 112ce-N. Their first nylon-string cutaway Grand Concert-style 100 Series model, this one goes out to Taylor's feverish fingerpicking classical players. With this nylon string special, the world is your oyster.

The 112ce-N is specially constructed to balance both fine Taylor tone and classical-style playability. This special balance starts with Taylor's popular Grand Concert body style with a body cutaway. Offering easier access to higher frets off the bat, the cutaway, paired with Taylor's more compact Grand Concert body, streamlines playability for players looking to explore the full range of this guitar. A torrefied spruce top lands on this model alongside layered sapele back and sides to create a bright and balanced voice perfect for nylon string voicings. Torrefaction, a heat-treating process, elevates the spruce's tonal properties to play with a more lived-in sound usually reserved for naturally older tonewoods.

Playability is paramount on this 100 Series model. This all begins with the 112ce-N's matte-finished body that invites you to bring it in close and play comfortably. Its twelve-fret neck and nut width, narrower than a traditional classical guitar's, make it a dream to play all across its scale. The 112ce-N gives back lovingly as you play it with a specially-designed internal architecture suited for nylon string tonality, enhancing the warmth and clarity traditionally associated with the style. Tied together with Taylor's ES-N electronics system, the classical-style sounds of this 112ce-N are seamlessly translated to the stage for amplified performance.

As a love letter to classical styles of playing, Taylor's 112ce-N is a prime pick for nylon string players new and experienced.
