Product Description

A Jewel from Taylor’s Golden Era

This isn’t just another acoustic guitar—it’s a time capsule from 2001, a period many players consider a golden era for Taylor Guitars. The 912c was a top-of-the-line instrument then, and it’s only gotten better with age. Crafted from master-grade tonewoods that have had over two decades to open up, this guitar delivers a sound that’s complex, mature, and incredibly responsive. From the moment you strum a chord, you’ll feel the resonance and hear the harmonic bloom that only a well-aged, high-end acoustic can produce. It’s in Very Good Condition and comes with its original hardshell case, ready for its next chapter.

Master-Grade Woods & Abalone Artistry

The heart of this guitar’s tone comes from its stunning wood pairing: a Master-Grade Englemann Spruce top and Master-Grade East Indian Rosewood back and sides. Englemann spruce is prized for its nuance and dynamic range, offering a rich, complex overtone profile that’s perfect for fingerstyle players and light strummers. Paired with the deep, glassy lows and sparkling highs of premium rosewood, the result is a tone that’s both powerful and articulate. The visual appointments are equally breathtaking, featuring the iconic “Cindy” pattern inlay in abalone and pearl across the fretboard and headstock, framed by shimmering abalone purfling around the top.

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.

The “Cindy” inlay is one of Taylor’s most celebrated designs, originally created by Larry Breedlove for Bob Taylor’s wife, Cindy, in the mid-90s. It’s a complex and beautiful work of art using abalone and pearl, and it’s reserved for their highest-end 900 and Presentation Series guitars. It’s a hallmark of Taylor’s finest craftsmanship.
The Crown GLM is a high-quality, small-diaphragm condenser microphone. Installing it in an acoustic guitar is a professional modification designed to capture the most natural and detailed sound possible. Unlike under-saddle pickups, it captures the actual resonance and air movement from the soundboard, resulting in a studio-quality tone when plugged in.
Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ 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 72-Hour Love-It Guarantee. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.
If you order before 3 PM CST on a weekday, it ships the same day. We’ll get it into your hands fast with free, insured 2-3 day shipping.
Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.
