DESCRIPTION
Built for players who value nuance, touch sensitivity and tonal sophistication, the Taylor Next Generation 712ce offers an acoustic experience that rewards every subtle detail of a performance. Its compact Grand Concert body pairs a responsive Western Red Cedar top with East Indian rosewood back and sides to produce warm lows, sparkling highs and rich harmonic complexity — a combination that especially suits fingerstyle players and musicians with a dynamic touch.
Cedar responds effortlessly to a lighter attack, while rosewood contributes depth and lush overtones, so every note and chord speaks with clarity and musical depth. Taylor's latest scalloped V-Class bracing builds on that foundation, adding greater warmth, richer open-string resonance and enhanced low-end fullness while preserving the projection, clarity and pitch accuracy that define Taylor's modern acoustic voice.
The Grand Concert shape delivers focused projection and controlled overtones in a body that's slightly smaller than a Grand Auditorium, making it comfortable for long sessions and easy to place in a mix or ensemble. A Venetian cutaway opens up the upper frets for lead work, and the innovative long-tenon Action Control neck strengthens the neck-to-body joint for added warmth and sustain while letting you dial in string height quickly — no neck or string removal required. The satin-finished neo-tropical mahogany neck, genuine West African ebony fingerboard and ebony bridge keep the playing feel fast and smooth.
Onstage or in the studio, Taylor's Claria electronics — developed with input from touring artists and live sound engineers — deliver clear, natural amplified tone with intuitive controls. Premium appointments including Green Abalone Reflections inlays, a green abalone rosette and gold Taylor tuning machines round out the aesthetic, and a Taylor Deluxe brown hardshell case is included for protection on the road.
