Taylor 12 Fret Slot Head Cutaway
Return Policy
This is a great playing, great looking, and most importantly great sounding Taylor 12-fret in East Indian Rosewood and Sitka Spruce.Simply put, this guitar is a joy to pick or strum. The short scale twelve fret neck makes for a nice, easy playability, while the cutaway opens up the higher frets for excellent access to the upper register. This 12-fret slope shoulder dreadnought shape originated in early hawian style guitars, but the smoothness and tonal warmth of this configuration have made it. Four of these guitars are 12 fret, slot head (Martin OOO Norman Blake, Martin O28VS, 812, 612, both Taylor new design. Two are 14 fret (Martin OO18V, 414ce, old Taylor design). My opinion is the best sounding acoustics have 12 frets to the body, slot heads, and a V-shaped neck. The Taylors have slight V.

Taylor’s 12-fret guitars update a classic steel-string design with signature touches that combine a slinky handfeel with impressive tonal power for the compact Grand Concert body size. The 312ce 12-Fret’s slightly condensed 24-7/8-inch scale length makes the fretting experience more accessible, while the solid sapele and Sitka spruce pairing produces a vibrant midrange with pleasing focus and projection. V-Class bracing bolsters the projection and sustain, adding sonic headroom for lively players looking for mix-leading sound from a small, comfortable frame. Appointments include satin back and sides with a gloss top, black binding, Italian acrylic small diamond fretboard inlays, a 3-ring rosette, a Venetian cutaway, and Taylor’s stage-ready ES2 acoustic electronics. The guitar comes with a Taylor deluxe hardshell case.
This particular instrument has a tiny scuff in the body binding and a shallow dimple in the finish behind the bridge. We have included a close-up photo of each of these. Aside from what we have described, this instrument is in mint condition.
How Does It Play?
This guitar is set up very nicely at 3/32' on the low E at the 12th fret and 2/32' on the high E without any buzz. The guitar provides a very responsive and pleasing player experience. And when a little extra is needed, it sounds killer the ES2 pickup system plugged into a PA.
The Taylor Deluxe hard case pictured is brand new and included.
