The V-Class bracing upgrade brings a new level of power and tonal complexity to this already sophisticated rosewood/spruce Grand Concert guitar. On the cutaway 912ce, the playing comfort and sonic focus of the smaller body now yield a surprising level of midrange warmth and treble boldness, fueled by improvements to volume and sustain from the new bracing scheme, making this a more musically expressive guitar for fingerstyle players and light strummers. The contoured ebony armrest supplies a beautiful ergonomic touch that elevates both the playing experience and aesthetic. Other refined details include ebony binding, koa purfling, and abalone and mother-of-pearl Ascension inlays and trim. The guitar ships with ES2 electronics in a Taylor deluxe hardshell case.
