Taylor 212ce-N BLK Plus LTD Nylon-String Grand Concert Acoustic Guitar, Torrefied Spruce/Big Leaf Maple, Black

For fans of guitars both modern and classical, the Taylor 212ce-N BLK Plus LTD is a marvel of sharp design and lush tonality. Dropping in for effortless fingerstyle playing, this classical-style Taylor is everything one could need for the form.

Taylor's Grand Concert body shape takes the stage for this whole experience to lift off. This smaller body shape fits easily under the arm and is perfect for fingerstyle playing and intricate picking patterns. Layered Big Leaf maple constitutes this guitar's back and sides to deliver a solid tonal foundation from which the sound can bloom. From here, a torrefied spruce top lands for excellent balance and projection. Torrefaction, a process in which the spruce is heat-treated, stabilizes the wood's tonal character and imparts a lived-in sound, usually reserved for older guitars.

This classical's Hard Rock maple neck extends from its gloss-finished, Venetian cutaway-body with Taylor's Standard Carve taking the neck shape for a slim grip across the palm. The experience on the fingers stays slinky with the West African Crelicam ebony fingerboard's twelve-fret configuration. To match the 212ce-N's slinky feel in hand, Taylor Guitars Master Guitar Designer Andy Powers specially adapted Taylor's nylon-string bracing pattern to better suit the size of the guitar and musical style accustomed to nylon-string models, resulting in an overall more concise and careful audible profile.

The experience of this limited-edition Taylor goes beyond its tonewoods, however. A series of fine hardware and aesthetic specifications tie the guitar together to a satisfying sum. White binding body and a single-ring Italian acrylic rosette create stark highlights from this nylon's black-finish while a slotted peghead headstock and classical nickel tuners top off the stringing experience. For those seeking a live audience, this Taylor 212ce-N brings its sweet sounds to amplified performance with Taylor ES-N electronics, specially designed for nylon strings, while an included Taylor AeroCase ensures safe travels.

For those romantic, classical-style modes of music, look to this limited-edition Taylor for inspiration and let its serene sounds carry you away.
