It is a particularly appealing choice for players who want a more comfortable, articulate acoustic without losing the depth and harmonic complexity associated with a rosewood-backed guitar.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis model features a solid Sitka spruce top with Indian rosewood back and sides, giving it a clear, balanced and responsive voice. The smaller Grand Concert body makes it especially well suited to fingerstyle playing, lighter strumming and more detailed work, while the Venetian cutaway gives easy access further up the neck.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe neck is comfortable and immediately familiar, with the sort of smooth, easy playability Taylor are so well known for. The ebony fingerboard and bridge add to the clean, precise feel, and the overall response is quick, even and articulate across the neck.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTonally, the 812CE sits in a lovely place: clear and defined, but with enough warmth and depth from the rosewood to keep things full and musical. It has plenty of top-end sparkle, a tight low end and a strong note separation that makes it a very usable guitar both acoustically and plugged in.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe onboard Taylor Expression System 2 electronics make this a practical stage or studio instrument, translating the guitar’s natural acoustic character in a straightforward and reliable way.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA refined, great-playing 2018 Taylor 812CE with excellent tonewoods, superb playability and the added interest of Martin Barre ownership.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54317044302163,"sku":"1109258030","price":2995.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/7258\/4275\/files\/2018Taylor812ce_MartinBarre-6.jpg?v=1784195698","url":"https:\/\/www.atbguitars.com\/products\/2018-taylor-812ce","provider":"ATB Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
