Taylor 312ce-N

The Taylor 312ce-N at a glance:

With the Taylor 312ce-N, the U.S. manufacturer under Bob Taylor expands its 300 series with a Grand Concert-sized electro-acoustic classical guitar with a cutaway. Due to its outstanding quality and fine workmanship, the compact nylon string guitar is quite respectable. The fully solid body produces a warm yet defined sound that unfolds quickly. In addition, the flat neck offers decidedly luxurious playability and can be easily picked up to the highest registers. The Taylor 312ce-N comes with a sturdy case.

Construction and woods

To ensure that all frequencies can unfold in a balanced and clear manner, the manufacturer has chosen a body made of Sapele on which a Sitka spruce top rests for the basic construction of the classical guitar. In addition, clever bracing and a very thin high-gloss finish on the top ensure a fast response. Thanks to a slim profile and a 47.6 mm nut width, the mahogany neck is very obliging to grip in all 17 frets set into a classy ebony fingerboard.

Hardware and design

The heart of the 312ce-N Grand Concert is undoubtedly the in-house Taylor ES-N pickup system, which can be individually adjusted via the usual three pot buttons in the rib. and to ensure clean intonation on the 648 mm scale length, the nut and compensated bridge inlay are made of high-quality Graph Tech TUSQ. Furthermore, fine classical tuners with nickel hardware allow effortless and precise tuning of the 6 nylon strings. Visually, the instrument is rounded off by delicate multi-ply bindings on the body and dainty diamond inlays in the fretboard.

Taylor - The epitome of fine quality

As one of the largest guitar manufacturers, Taylor is truly an authority in the production of first-class instruments. Thus, professional manufacturing by skilled craftsmen results in the very finest products for life, whose value is always maintained - or even increased! This is due in equal part to exquisite tonewoods, which do not warp due to long storage and selected quality and as a result, can hardly be surpassed in terms of high quality. Only spruce, mahogany, cedar or Koa of proven quality are used for the tops. By the way, careful production in combination with the best materials does not only apply to guitars. Guitar bags and all accessories are also of first-class quality. Finally, a conscientious final inspection does not let even the smallest defects pass and ensures absolutely flawless guitars even before shipment.

And that's not all: Taylor also attaches great importance to environmentally conscious actions.

Ebony & Koa: Sustainability at Taylor Guitars.

Uncontrolled clearing of forests and overexploitation lead to massively endangered wood species that are no longer able to regenerate due to the high pace of deforestation. These include ebony and koa in particular, whose dwindling stocks and the resulting ecological problems have prompted a rethink at Taylor Guitars.

Taylor Sustainability

Sustainable ebony cultivation in Cameroon

Because ebony's hard, supple texture makes it particularly finger-friendly, it has long been the preferred choice for making fingerboards. Its attractive appearance is also extremely popular for bridges, headstock rests, bridge Pins and Bindings. However, high demand and a thriving black market outstripped stocks, landing Ebony on the Red List of Endangered Species in 1994. Moreover, only the deep black heartwood, which makes up only a fraction of the tree, was used, resulting in a disproportionately large amount of waste in production. In order to protect the forests, Taylor has thus been working since 2011 with the Crelicam Wood Mill in Yaoundé in Cameroon to promote controlled consumption by processing waste products.

"We need to use the ebony that the forest gives us" - Bob Taylor

Siglo Tonewoods Project

Koa acacia populations have also suffered severe losses over the last 20 years. Unsustainable forestry as well as overexploitation led to a decline that can only be stopped by proactive action and reforestation. Therefore, Taylor Guitars together with Pacific Rim Tonewoods founded the Siglo Tonewoods project, which aims to rebuild the Hawaiian virgin forest. This is a large cultivation area for koa acacia and other species, which allows the use of koa wood on a controlled scale.
