Taylor 512ce Next Gen Grand Concert Acoustic Electric Guitar with Case

Introducing the new 512ce next generation acoustic electric guitar from Taylor Guitars. The 512ce is a high value grand concert model in the Taylor line up, embracing neo Tropical Mahogany and Western red cedar as a the tone wood combination. New refinements for 2026 make this iconic instrument more compelling than ever. The guitar starts with all solid woods consisting of neo Tropical Mahogany for the back and sides and Western red cedar the top. This tone wood combination gives the player a nice, rich midrange and top end clarity with a touch of compression and a darker, warmer sound from the cedar top. The Grand Concert body shape is the most comfortable body shape in the Taylor line up and responds well to fingerstyle or players who strum with a lighter attack.

Whether you’re playing fingerstyle or recording in the studio or playing on stage or on the couch, the Grand Concert body shape is easy to play, fits in the sonic mix wonderfully, has a 24 7/8” scale for easier execution of challenging chords and can be played for a extended period of time more easily than larger guitar sizes. The Grand Concert can also put out more sound with a lighter attack or touch.

New for this model for 2026 are three major, game changing innovations. Action Control Neck. A new, long tenon neck joint design that not only improves tone and sustain but allows a qualified technician to adjust the neck angle in seconds with the strings still on and the guitar under tension. The result? The ability to set up the guitar for individual playing styles like never before. Scalloped V Class Bracing. With changes to the internal architecture, the guitar now brings more low end and bloom to the table while embracing all sustain and intonation benefits of the original V Class bracing system.

And finally, Claria pick up system, a revolutionary active pick up system that redefines acoustic amplified tone with a proprietary high definition, active high fidelity pre amp and under the saddle pick up system. Simply put, the most plug and play pick up system with volume, tone, and contour shaping soundhole controls to achieve the ultimate amplified acoustic sound.

The new for 2026 next generation 512ce features an all gloss finish on the body, meridian Italian Acrylic and faux pearl fretboard and peghead inlays, 24 78” scale length, venetian cutaway, white body binding, black fretboard binding, celluloid pickguard, and ships in a deluxe hard shell case.
