Taylor 2018 352CE Grand Concert 12-String Acoustic

The Taylor 2018 352CE Grand Concert 12-String Acoustic features Sitka Spruce top, a choice tonewood known for its balanced tonal response and projection. The back and sides are made from Sapele, imparting a warm and rich character to the guitar's sound. This combination of Sitka Spruce and Sapele creates a well-rounded acoustic profile with a slightly brighter sound compared to its mahogany-top counterpart, the 362ce. The Grand Concert body shape, known for its comfortable size, makes for a physically accessible playing experience, especially enhanced by the 12-fret neck and a slightly condensed 24-7/8-inch scale length.

Unlike traditional 12-strings with larger body styles, the lap-friendly design of this guitar creates ease of playability without sacrificing the characteristic shimmer and resonance of a 12-string guitar. The smaller body facilitates easy setting of strings in motion, allowing for a controlled acoustic voice that won't overpower a mix.

The neck of the 352CE is carved from Tropical Mahogany, providing stability and a smooth playing experience. The West African Ebony fingerboard offers a responsive surface, and with a fingerboard radius of 16 inches, players will find optimal comfort and playability across the entire fretboard.

The bracing system employed in this guitar is the Performance with Relief Rout, contributing to the instrument's excellent tonal balance and responsiveness. Complementing the acoustic excellence is the 1-7/8" Tusq nut, enhancing sustain and contributing to precise intonation.

An onboard Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics system captures the natural nuances and detail of that 12-string sound, delivering an accurate reproduction when plugged in. The ES2 ensures that the true essence of the 352CE is conveyed with clarity and fidelity.

To safeguard this 12-string, the 352CE comes complete with a Taylor Deluxe Hardshell Brown case.
