Tried-and-tested tonewoods and V-Class bracing

The 412ce Tobacco Sunburst achieves best sound results through the combination of Indian rosewood and Sitka spruce, which are among the most popular tonewoods in the construction of high-quality guitars. Thus, the rosewood body produces full, warm basses as well as pronounced mids, while the fine-grained Sitka spruce top contributes brilliant highs and contributes to a perfectly balanced sound. The necessary assertiveness is provided by the fully solid construction and the patented V-Class bracing, which sets the top into a two-dimensional vibration with every strike. This results in a long-lasting tone that unfolds impressively in all registers.

High playability

In addition to its outstanding sound, the guitar impresses with its pleasant playability. This is ensured by the compact Grand Concert design as well as the mahogany neck, which fits well in the hand due to its density and acceptable weight. With a nut width of 44.5mm, it's ideal for powerful strumming and complex fingerpicking, which benefits a variety of musical genres. Meanwhile, the smooth ebony fingerboard allows the picking hand to glide effortlessly across all frets. Furthermore, a generous cutaway contributes to the accessibility of the high registers, while in-house nickel tuners promise smooth tuning with high tuning stability at the same time.

Taylor Expression System 2
Best electronics for the perfect amplification

Taylor Expression System 2

The Expression System 2 is Taylor's in-house development and takes acoustic guitar amplification to the next level with its innovative functionality. It uses three piezo elements to directly pick up the acoustic signals from each pair of strings, allowing for completely unaltered sound transmission. Volume, bass and treble can be individually adjusted by means of three controls, which are discreetly integrated into the frame.

Attractive design

Rounding out the Taylor 412ce is its intricate design in the form of an exciting Tobacco Sunburst finish, which allows the fine grain of the woods to subtly shine through. This is complemented by numerous visual details such as the single-ring rosette, both functional and chic tortoise pickguard and fine finial inlays. In combination with the outstanding sound, the obliging handling and the high-quality equipment, the result is an absolutely stage-ready instrument with star quality.

Taylor - The epitome of fine quality

As one of the largest guitar manufacturers, Taylor is truly an authority in the production of first-class instruments. Thus, professional manufacturing by skilled craftsmen results in the very finest products for life, whose value is always maintained - or even increased! This is due in equal part to exquisite tonewoods, which do not warp due to long storage and selected quality and as a result can hardly be surpassed in terms of high quality. Only spruce, mahogany, cedar or Koa of proven quality are used for the tops. By the way, careful production in combination with the best materials does not only apply to guitars. Guitar bags and all accessories are also of first-class quality. Finally, a conscientious final inspection does not let even the smallest defects pass and ensures absolutely flawless guitars even before shipment.

And that's not all: Taylor also attaches great importance to environmentally conscious actions.

Ebony & Koa: Sustainability at Taylor Guitars

Uncontrolled clearing of forests and overexploitation lead to massively endangered wood species, which can no longer regenerate due to the high pace of mining. These include ebony and koa in particular, whose dwindling stocks and the resulting ecological problems have prompted a rethink at Taylor Guitars.

Taylor Sustainability

Sustainable ebony cultivation in Cameroon

Because ebony's hard, supple texture makes it particularly finger-friendly, it has long been the preferred choice for making fingerboards. Its attractive appearance is also extremely popular for bridges, headstock rests, bridge Pins and Bindings. However, high demand and a thriving black market outstripped stocks, landing ebony on the Red List of Endangered Species in 1994. Moreover, only the jet-black heartwood, which makes up only a fraction of the tree, was used, resulting in a disproportionately large amount of waste in production. In order to protect the forests, Taylor has therefore been working since 2011 with the Crelicam Wood Mill in Yaoundé in Cameroon to promote controlled consumption by processing waste products. Thus, not only black ebony elements are found in Taylor guitars, but also the different colored, more clearly grained parts of the tree. This complete recycling is an effective method of preserving stocks and successfully counteracts their dramatic decline and the negative ecological effects that accompany it.

"We need to use the ebony that the forest gives us" - Bob Taylor

Siglo Tonewoods Project

Koa acacia populations have also suffered severe losses over the last 20 years. Unsustainable forestry as well as overexploitation led to a decline that can only be stopped by proactive action and reforestation. Therefore, Taylor Guitars together with Pacific Rim Tonewoods founded the Siglo Tonewoods project, which aims to rebuild the Hawaiian virgin forest. This is a large cultivation area for koa acacia and other species, which allows the use of koa wood on a controlled scale.
