Discover the Taylor 712ce 12-Fret with ES1 Electronics, a masterfully crafted acoustic-electric guitar that blends vintage charm with modern innovation. Perfect for the discerning musician, this guitar is designed to deliver an exceptional tonal experience both on stage and in the studio. The 12-fret design, combined with a shorter scale length, offers a unique playing feel that enhances fingerstyle playability and produces a warm, rich sound.

The 712ce features a solid Sitka spruce top paired with Indian rosewood back and sides, creating a balanced tonal palette that resonates with clarity and depth. The use of a 12-fret neck-to-body joint shifts the bridge position closer to the center of the guitar's lower bout, resulting in a more robust midrange response.
