WAYS TO PAY:
The Taylor Builder's Edition 912ce WHB is a premium Grand Concert electro-acoustic guitar meticulously crafted to meet the highest standards of playability and tonal excellence. This guitar features a tonewood pairing of Indian rosewood back and sides with a Lutz spruce top, a combination renowned for its balanced and articulate sound. The Indian rosewood contributes a rich, resonant low end and sparkling trebles, while the Lutz spruce adds clarity, projection, and a powerful tonal response. The slightly scooped mids create space for other instruments in a mix.
The Grand Concert body shape is Taylor's smallest full-size body, offering a comfortable playing experience, especially for fingerstyle guitarists. Its compact dimensions and tapered waist minimise overtones, resulting in a focused and articulate sound ideal for both recording and live performance. The shorter 24-7/8-inch scale length and lighter string tension further enhance playability, making complex fingerings easier to execute. This body shape's history is rooted in serving the needs of fingerstyle players who needed clarity and balance, making it a favourite for studio work and performing with bands.
Taylor's innovative V-Class bracing system is incorporated into the 912ce WHB. This revolutionary bracing pattern enhances the guitar's sonic performance by increasing both volume and sustain. Unlike traditional X-bracing, V-Class bracing allows the soundboard to be both stiff and flexible, resulting in louder, longer-sustaining notes that are also more in tune with each other. This improvement in intonation is particularly beneficial in today's musical landscape where guitars are often played alongside precisely tuned digital instruments.
The Builder's Edition designation signifies that this guitar includes several comfort-focused design features. These include a bevelled cutaway and armrest, which enhance playing comfort and provide easy access to the upper frets. Chamfered body and fretboard edges further contribute to a smooth and comfortable feel. The Silent Satin finish minimises playing noise and adds a touch of understated elegance to the instrument's appearance. The Wild Honey Burst finish provides a striking visual aesthetic.
For amplified performance, the 912ce WHB is equipped with Taylor's Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics. This innovative pickup system, featuring three uniquely positioned sensors behind the saddle, captures the guitar's natural tone with exceptional clarity and responsiveness. The ES2 delivers a dynamic and authentic amplified sound whether plugged into a PA system, acoustic amplifier, or recording interface.
Taylor's commitment to responsible sourcing is reflected in the materials used in the 912ce WHB. The guitar ships with a deluxe hardshell case, providing superior protection for the instrument.
