Taylor 712e Grand Concert

14-Fret Acoustic-Electric Guitar – Precision, Balance, and Refined Tone

The Taylor 712e Grand Concert – 14-Fret is a beautifully balanced, all-solid-wood acoustic-electric guitar crafted for players who value clarity, comfort, and refined tonal detail. Built with Taylor’s compact Grand Concert body shape, it delivers articulate highs, focused mids, and a controlled low end making it an exceptional choice for fingerstyle, light strumming, and studio work.
