Product Description

Vintage Tone, Modern Feel

Right out of the box, the Taylor 112ce feels and sounds like a guitar you’ve been playing for years. That’s the magic of the torrefied spruce top. Taylor’s special roasting process ages the wood, giving it an incredibly open, responsive, and resonant voice that normally takes decades to develop. It’s articulate, punchy, and ready for the stage or studio from day one.

Paired with layered sapele back and sides, the 112ce delivers a balanced tone with a pleasing warmth and top-end sparkle. The Grand Concert body shape is a fingerstyle player’s dream, offering a focused sound with controlled overtones that lets every note shine through. It’s also incredibly comfortable to hold, making those long writing sessions or gigs a breeze.

Plug In and Play

When you’re ready to plug in, Taylor’s onboard Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics capture the guitar’s natural acoustic voice with stunning accuracy. The unique behind-the-saddle pickup design translates all the nuance and dynamic character of your playing, so you sound just as good amplified as you do unplugged. It’s a true workhorse for the gigging musician.

Effortless Playability

Taylor built their name on playability, and the 112ce is a perfect example. The slightly shorter 24-7/8″ scale length reduces string tension for a slinky, buttery feel, making bends and complex chords easier on the fingers. Combined with a comfortable standard carve mahogany neck and a smooth ebony fretboard, this is a guitar that invites you to play for hours on end.

The Lowdown

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

Torrefaction is a wood-roasting process that mimics the natural aging of vintage guitars. For the player, it means you get a guitar that sounds open, responsive, and ‘played-in’ from the moment you pick it up. It enhances resonance and projection, giving you the character of an older instrument without the wait.
Absolutely. While it’s a favorite for fingerstyle players due to its clarity and focus, the Grand Concert shape is also fantastic for light-to-medium strumming. It doesn’t have the booming low end of a dreadnought, which makes it perfect for recording and for players who want a balanced sound that won’t overwhelm their vocals.
Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfectâ„¢ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.
This guitar is covered by our 14-Day Return Policy. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.
Orders ship same day in most cases and arrive within 1-4 business days with free, insured shipping. We’ll get it into your hands as quickly as we can.
Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.
