The Taylor special-edition 412ce-NR rosewood nylon acoustic-electric grand concert guitar combines premium tonewoods with customized electronics for nylon-string players who want acoustic sound with amplified control. Indian rosewood back and sides pair with a Sitka spruce top to produce a rich, nuanced voice with restrained overtones, ideal for live performance and recording applications where sonic space is limited. The smaller Grand Concert body offers an intimate feel for hours of playing comfort, whether on stage, in studio or at home.

Rosewood and Spruce Synergy Achieves Balanced Tone

The rosewood and spruce tonewood combination yields a harmonious blend of warmth, articulation and volume. Rosewood provides a solid tonal foundation with complex overtones, while spruce adds clarity and responsiveness. Together, these woods achieve a balanced acoustic voice with detailed note definition and controlled resonance for superior sound reproduction when amplified.

Grand Concert Body Delivers Comfort and Playability

Slightly smaller than a Grand Auditorium, the Grand Concert body size offers comfortable ergonomics and a lap-friendly footprint. Its compact dimensions produce an intimate acoustic voice with a focused tone that won't overpower vocals or other instruments. The Grand Concert is an excellent choice for developing technique, composing and practicing at home.

Custom ES-N Pickup System Designed for Nylon Strings

Taylor's ES-N pickup and preamp system was created specifically for nylon-string guitars to accurately reproduce their unique acoustic properties. Natural-looking control knobs for Volume, Treble and Bass allow you to shape the tone to suit your needs. Powered by a 9V battery, the ES-N pickup provides consistent amplified performance for nylon-string players in any live or studio setting.

Deluxe Hardshell Case Protects Your Investment

A deluxe hardshell case crafted by Taylor provides secure storage and transport for your special-edition 412ce-NR. Its plush lining keeps the instrument safe from scratches and dings, while the durable outer shell shields against impacts, weather and environmental damage. The hardshell case allows you to take your Taylor nylon-string guitar anywhere without worry.
