Taylor 212ce Natural At a Glance:
The Taylor 212ce expands the 200 Series and a Grand Concert Western guitar with proven Taylor quality. With its solid Sitka spruce top and laminated East Indian rosewood body, the model produces the ultimate acoustic sound, made for both vocal accompaniment and solo playing. Thanks to the in-house Expression System 2, this outstanding sound can also be amplified, while the discreet but extremely attractive natural matte finish with a classic tortoise pickguard enriches the overall picture with its appealing appearance. To ensure that the journey to the gig, Studio or to the rehearsal is undamaged, a well-padded gig bag is included in the scope of delivery.
Traditional construction in a handy Grand Concert design: the Taylor 212ce acoustic guitar.
The Grand Concert guarantees the highest playing comfort and best features for fingerstyle.
Compact and handy: the Grand Concert
The Grand Concert is Taylor's own development, which first appeared in 1984 and delights fingerstyle enthusiasts. Its handy body with its slim waist fits well in the hand and guarantees an outstanding playing feel especially for guitarists of smaller stature. Thanks to its finger-friendly features and its rich sound with clear overtones, the guitar also meets all the sound requirements that musicians demand of their instrument.
Spruce and rosewood give the Taylor 212ce a perfectly balanced sound and rich harmonics.
Classic tonewoods
Due to their excellent sound characteristics, Sitka spruce and rosewood enjoy a high popularity in guitar making. Thus, the Taylor 212ce with back and sides made of East Indian rosewood delivers powerful basses with warm mids and punchy highs, while the fine-grained solid spruce top adds its characteristic bright tones in addition to its improved vibration characteristics. The result is a perfectly balanced, powerful sound for the highest musical authenticity.
Mahogany and ebony are classic woods for guitar necks and fingerboards.
Ultimate fingerstyle instrument
In addition to its captivating sound, the Taylor acoustic guitar also impresses fingerstylists with its high level of playing comfort. While the mahogany neck nestles comfortably in the palm of the hand, the fretting hand glides effortlessly over the velvety ebony fingerboard and, thanks to the Venetian cutaway, reaches the higher registers without any problems. In addition, the shortened scale length of 632 mm requires less effort, which also facilitates complex fingering patterns and also benefits still inexperienced fingers.
The Expression System 2 transmits a dynamic, pristine sound.
Taylor Expression System 2
In order to present this professional instrument on stage, the model is equipped with the in-house Expression System 2. This innovative pickup system for acoustic guitars features three individual bridge sensors that pick up the acoustic signals of each pair of strings individually and transmit them to the amplifier in a completely natural way. Volume, treble and bass, meanwhile, can be adjusted via three controls discreetly positioned on the top rib.
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, which can no longer regenerate due to the high pace of mining. These include ebony and koa in particular, whose dwindling stocks and the resulting ecological problems have prompted a rethink at Taylor Guitars.
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 jet-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.
