Taylor 500 Series 512ce 12-Fret Model Grand Concert Cutaway Acoustic/Electric Guitar w/ Taylor Deluxe Brown Hardshell Case

This fingerstyle dream blends the physical comfort of our compact Grand Concert body, the warm and responsive voice of mahogany topped with cedar, and the slinky handfeel of the 12-fret, 24-7/8-inch scale length neck into an effortlessly expressive 6-string. With the addition of V-Class bracing, the enhanced volume and sustain expand the dynamic range in both directions—making it both more responsive to a light touch and capable of handling a lively attack. The 12-fret configuration, which positions the bridge near the center of the lower bout, elicits extra warmth, power and sweetness, and those sonic traits are also enhanced by V-Class framework. Visually, the slotted headstock, grained ivoroid Century inlays, and faux tortoise shell binding and pickguard outfit the guitar with neo-vintage aesthetic appeal, while modern features include an elegant Venetian cutaway and proprietary Taylor ES2 electronics.

Grand Concert Shape

A smaller-bodied guitar ideally suited for fingerstyle.

Western Red Cedar Top Woods

A true performer for those with a lighter touch, cedar tops yield extra warmth and pair nicely with mahogany and rosewood.

Tropical Mahogany Body Woods

A midrange powerhouse. Mahogany is prized for balance and articulation, making it one of the best all-around tonewoods there is.

Expression System 2 Electronics

The Expression System 2 captures more of a guitar's dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.

Venetian Cutaway

The Venetian cutaway is known for its soft, round lines. The sloping peak of the cutaway will vary depending on the shape of the guitar.

V-Class Bracing

A revolutionary design that balances the flexibility and stability of the top, V-Class bracing produces unmatched sustain, volume, and intonation.
