Adding to the new Next Gen line, the 912ce gets a Sitka spruce top matched with rosewood back and sides. The result is a warmer than usual Taylor model with the new neck joint, updated scallop V-Class bracing and new Claria electronics. From Taylor: "Boasting a beloved tonewood pairing and a trio of new features designed to elevate both sound and feel, the Next Generation 812ce promises an exceptional musical experience for discerning players. This compact Grand Concert acoustic-electric features back and sides of solid Indian rosewood paired with a Sitka spruce top, delivering a richly textured voice with clear trebles, rich lows and a lush overtone response. Inside, our scalloped V-Class bracing enhances low-end presence and overall resonance, coaxing out even more of the natural harmonics that players love in the rosewood/spruce pairing. With an Action Control Neck that lets players dial in the perfect feel in seconds and Claria electronics for intuitive, adaptable live tone, the Next Generation 812ce serves up a sound that performs beautifully across playing styles and genres. Other details include a radius-style rosewood armrest for enhanced playing comfort, a smoky ebony fretboard, maple binding with black/maple/rosewood edge trim, a green abalone rosette, Element fretboard and peghead inlays in mother-of-pearl, a rosewood pickguard, and a natural gloss finish."
