Small Body, Monumental Voice
Don’t let the compact size fool you—the Taylor 212ce Plus is a cannon. This isn’t just a comfortable, couch-friendly guitar; it’s a dynamic and expressive instrument that punches way above its weight class. Taylor pairs the intimate feel of their Grand Concert body with a specially torrefied top, giving you the soul and responsiveness of a vintage guitar from the very first strum. The shorter 24-7/8″ scale length makes every chord feel easier and every bend feel like butter, inviting hours of effortless play.
Aged Tone from Day One
The secret sauce is the torrefied Sitka spruce top. By roasting the wood, Taylor crystallizes the resins and unlocks a warmer, more resonant character—it’s the kind of bloom and sustain you’d normally have to wait decades to hear. Paired with layered Indian rosewood back and sides, the result is a focused, harmonically rich voice that’s articulate enough for delicate fingerstyle but bold enough for hard strumming. Every note is defined, clear, and full of character.
Your True Voice—Amplified
Plug in, and the magic continues. Taylor’s groundbreaking Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics capture the 212ce’s natural acoustic warmth and dynamic range with stunning fidelity. Because the pickup sits behind the saddle, not under it, you get a richer, less sterile tone that truly represents the guitar’s voice. With the simple-yet-powerful two-band EQ, you can easily shape your sound for any stage or studio, ensuring your amplified tone is as inspiring as your acoustic one.
