The Taylor 512ce is one of Taylor's first models to feature back and sides of solid Urban Ironbark, a dense, hard tonewood that yields a rich, sophisticated response with a deep low end and a high-fidelity voice reminiscent of Indian rosewood, along with some of mahogany’s midrange punch and focus. This Grand Concert model pairs Urban Ironbark with a torrefied Sitka spruce top, lending a played-in character that produces a warm, piano-like sound with remarkable balance across the tonal spectrum. With V-Class bracing inside, this compact acoustic-electric delivers room-filling projection and blooming sustain, offering a muscular quality that remains sensitive to a soft touch. Elegant appointments include Aerial inlays in Italian acrylic, a single-ring abalone rosette trimmed with maple and black purfling, and a tastefully subtle edgeburst. Equipped with ES2 electronics and housed in a deluxe hardshell case, the 512ce is a refined choice for players seeking rich tone and impeccable craftsmanship.
