The Taylor 212ce-N Plus Grand Concert nylon-string acoustic-electric guitar provides professional-level playability and tone for the serious classical guitarist. With a solid torrefied spruce top and layered rosewood back and sides, this Grand Concert body shape delivers a balanced, articulate voice perfect for nylon strings. The Grand Concert body size provides controlled overtones so each note rings through clearly, while the ES-N pickup system provides plug-and-play access to Taylor's signature sound.

Grand Concert Body, Responsive Nylon-String Voice

The torrefied spruce top is reinforced by Taylor's nylon-string bracing, optimizing the 212ce-N Plus for the softer response of nylon strings. You'll appreciate the dynamic range as individual notes ring clear and true. The smaller Grand Concert body provides a controlled voice, allowing your playing to be heard clearly in mixes. Layered rosewood back and sides warm the tone, emphasizing the midrange. Together, these premium tonewoods produce the balanced, articulate voice nylon-string players demand.

Taylor Standard Nylon Profile for Comfortable Playability

While traditional classical guitars feature wide necks, the 212ce-N Plus has a slim neck and 1-7/8" nut width for fast, comfortable playability. The slight radius and low action allow smooth transitions between nylon and steel-string techniques. The Taylor Standard Nylon Profile fills your hand without feeling bulky. Whether you favor intricate fingerpicking or energetic strumming, this neck design inspires you to play with ease.

Plug in with the ES-N Pickup System

Taylor's ES-N pickup system allows you to plug in the 212ce-N Plus for amplified performance or recording. Designed specifically for nylon-string guitars, the ES-N captures the intricate details of your playing through a single under-saddle transducer. Standard volume, bass and treble controls enable you to shape your tone to perfection. Never again will you have to settle for the harsh, quacky sound of a piezo pickup not optimized for nylon strings. The ES-N delivers Taylor's signature acoustic sound for a true amplified nylon-string experience.

Premium Appointments and Aerocase

The 212ce-N Plus includes premium touches like a genuine ebony bridge, fingerboard and headstock overlay and TUSQ nut and saddle. Classical nickel tuners with faux pearl buttons complete the upscale look. An Aerocase provides rugged protection for your investment while keeping the guitar within easy reach. Visually stunning and tonally inspiring, the Taylor 212ce-N Plus Grand Concert nylon-string acoustic-electric guitar belongs in the hands of serious musicians.
