Taylor 712ce Next Generation – Rosewood / Cedar Grand Concert Acoustic-Electric Guitar

Taylor 712ce Next Generation Rosewood Cedar Grand Concert Acoustic-Electric Guitar w/ Claria Pickup

Some guitars impress you with volume. Others win you over with nuance. The Taylor 712ce Next Generation belongs firmly in the second category. Its combination of a solid Western Red Cedar top and Indian Rosewood back and sides delivers a warm, responsive voice that rewards a delicate touch while still offering the clarity and balance that have become hallmarks of Taylor’s Grand Concert design.

The Taylor 712ce Next Generation showcases why the Grand Concert body remains one of the most expressive designs in Taylor’s lineup. Combining a solid Western Red Cedar top with solid Indian Rosewood back and sides, this guitar delivers a warm, articulate voice with exceptional balance, rich harmonic detail, and remarkable sensitivity to a player’s touch.

The cedar top responds effortlessly to even the lightest picking attack, making it an outstanding choice for fingerstyle players while still providing enough dynamic range for strumming and flatpicking. Indian Rosewood adds depth, shimmering overtones, and impressive sustain, creating a beautifully layered tonal character that’s equally rewarding on stage, in the studio, or at home.

Equipped with Taylor’s latest Next Generation innovations—including the Claria™ electronics system, Scalloped V-Class Bracing, and the Action Control Neck™—the 712ce offers enhanced projection, improved intonation, long-lasting playability, and exceptionally natural amplified tone. It’s a refined instrument that combines traditional craftsmanship with modern engineering in all the right ways.

✅Why We Chose This Guitar

Not every 712ce feels exactly the same.

Our team looks carefully at the visual character of the tonewoods, overall resonance, responsiveness, and craftsmanship before deciding which instruments deserve a place in our showroom.

This particular guitar immediately impressed us with its quick response, rich harmonic content, and beautifully balanced cedar and rosewood combination. The cedar top offers effortless dynamics while the rosewood adds depth, piano-like bass, sparkling highs, and exceptional sustain.

For players seeking an expressive, highly responsive Grand Concert, this is exactly the kind of instrument we love to recommend.

✅ Our Expert Opinion
