Nylon Warmth, Steel-String Feel
For the steel-string player craving the intimate, warm voice of a nylon-string guitar without the culture shock of a traditional classical neck—this is your guitar. The Taylor 112ce-N delivers the best of both worlds. It pairs the mellow, percussive character of nylon with Taylor’s legendary playability, creating an instrument that feels instantly familiar and endlessly inspiring.
Grand Concert Body & Tonewoods
The compact Grand Concert body shape is a perfect match for the nuance of nylon strings. It’s comfortable to hold and provides a focused, articulate tone that’s perfect for fingerstyle, bossa nova, and delicate strumming. The solid torrefied spruce top—roasted to perfection—gives this guitar a responsive, broken-in sound right out of the box, offering surprising projection and tonal depth. Paired with layered sapele back and sides, you get a warm, punchy midrange that records beautifully.
Effortless Playability
Here’s the magic: the 1-7/8″ nut width is comfortably slim, a welcome feel for players accustomed to steel-string acoustics. It’s a crossover neck that doesn’t demand you relearn your technique. Combined with a sleek neo-tropical mahogany neck and a West African Crelicam ebony fingerboard, the feel is pure Taylor—smooth, fast, and ready for any gig. The Venetian cutaway offers easy access to the upper frets, encouraging melodic exploration.
Stage-Ready Electronics
When you’re ready to plug in, the onboard Taylor ES-N electronics capture the guitar’s natural acoustic voice with stunning accuracy. It translates the warmth and dynamic range of the nylon strings without sounding sterile or thin, making the 112ce-N a reliable partner for both the stage and the studio.
