{"product_id":"taylor-812ce-grand-concert-acoustic-electric-6088","title":"Taylor 812ce Grand Concert Acoustic-Electric #6088","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Taylor 812ce, Next Generation takes the 800 Series' rosewood-and-spruce voice and puts it in Taylor's most compact full-scale body, the Grand Concert. A solid Sitka spruce top pairs with solid Indian rosewood back and sides, and Scalloped V-Class Bracing with Relief Rout keeps that combination focused instead of boomy — the shorter 24-7\/8\" scale and tighter waist trade a little dreadnought-scale volume for a guitar that sits close to the body and responds to a light touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat trade-off is exactly what makes the 812ce work for fingerstyle and close-mic recording. Indian rosewood still delivers the deep, complex low end and ringing overtones the 800 Series is known for, but the Grand Concert's smaller air chamber tightens up the bass so single-note runs and Travis-picking patterns stay articulate instead of blurring into the low mids. Strum it hard and the V-Class bracing keeps chords in tune with themselves up the neck; back off to a fingerstyle touch and the guitar rewards it with sustain and a warm, even response across all six strings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAppointments follow the 800 Series standard: a West African ebony fingerboard, bridge, and headstock veneer, mother-of-pearl fingerboard and peghead inlay, a green abalone rosette around a bound sound hole, and a full-body gloss finish over the rosewood. Taylor's Claria pickup system adds a soundhole-mounted Mid-Contour control alongside volume and tone, so the amplified tone can be shaped for a room instead of just turned up.
