Lefty’s Delight: A Taylor Grand Concert That Plays Like a Dream
Here’s a treat for all the southpaws out there—a pre-owned Taylor 212ce Lefty in excellent condition, ready to inspire. This guitar packs all the legendary Taylor craftsmanship into the comfortable and articulate Grand Concert body shape. It’s an instrument that feels instantly familiar, with a voice that’s both intimate and surprisingly robust, making it a perfect partner for the singer-songwriter or fingerstyle player.
Aged Tone from Day One
The secret to the 212ce’s rich, responsive voice is its **solid Torrefied Spruce top**. This special roasting process mimics the natural aging of tonewood, giving you the warmth and dynamic character of a well-loved vintage guitar right out of the gate. Paired with layered Walnut back and sides, the result is a focused, balanced tone with clear highs and a punchy midrange that records beautifully. The smaller Grand Concert body ensures every note is articulate, preventing the muddy low-end that can plague larger guitars in the studio.
Natural Plugged-In Performance
When you’re ready to hit the stage, Taylor’s onboard **Expression System® 2 (ES2) electronics** have you covered. This revolutionary behind-the-saddle pickup design captures the guitar’s natural dynamic properties, translating the nuanced, organic sound of the torrefied top and walnut body without the thin, brittle tone of typical piezo systems. It sounds like your guitar, only louder—which is exactly what you want.
Effortless Playability
Taylor built their reputation on feel, and this 212ce is no exception. The **shorter 24-7/8″ scale length** makes fretting chords and bending strings feel slinky and effortless. Combine that with the comfortable Standard Carve Neo-Tropical Mahogany neck and the glassy smooth West African Crelicam Ebony fretboard, and you have a guitar that you can play for hours without fatigue.
