Taylor 112ce Special Edition Acoustic-electric Guitar – Honeyburst

Taylor 112ce Special Edition Acoustic-electric Guitar – Honeyburst

Equipped with a perfectly broken-in torrefied Sitka spruce top, Taylor’s 112ce Special Edition is a true stage-ready acoustic-electric powerhouse. From top to bottom, this workhorse Taylor brandishes a truly top-end tonewood complement, including crisp-sounding sapele back and sides and a sturdy hardwood neck. Whether you’re a diehard flatpicker or a melodic fingerstyle master, you’ll be sure to appreciate how the deep Venetian cutaway provides unimpeded access to the smoked eucalyptus fingerboard’s entire range. And while this guitar’s petite Grand Concert body style offers a powerful unplugged punch, ES2 electronics allow you to take the stage without a second thought. Compact, comfortable, and packed to the brim with stage-ready appointments, the refreshed Taylor 112ce is a stunning update to one of Taylor’s most time-tested classics.

Note: Taylor builds the 112ce Special Edition with either a mahogany or maple neck, depending on availability. If you have questions, please reach out to our Sales Engineers.

Perfectly worn-in Sitka spruce top

It’s an almost universally accepted fact among musicians that acoustic instruments develop a more mellow and responsive tone over time, often taking a lifetime’s worth of breaking in until they reach their full sonic potential. For those of us who would rather skip ahead a few decades of hard-won tonewood aging, Taylor’s cutting-edge torrefaction process perfectly mimics the feel of an aged top right out of the box. How does it work? By roasting this guitar’s Sitka spruce top in a specialized oven, Taylor dramatically accelerates the natural “opening up” of the top to capture all the touch-sensitive resonance and lush vibrance of an acoustic guitar that’s been played for years.

Grand Concert body style

Taylor’s beloved Grand Concert body style, featured on the 112ce, employs projection and clarity that’s popular among fingerpickers and studio performers. Its narrower waist gives Grand Concert-bodied acoustic guitars a sleeker look with remarkable high-end response — helping to sharpen the definition of each note. The comfort of this body style is also a huge reason why the 112ce is a popular instrument for onstage use. From strumming rhythms to solo acoustic arrangements, the 112ce Grand Concert is an excellent choice for nearly every playing style.

Bathed in sapele splendor

The tonewoods chosen for the 112ce differ from contemporary beginner Taylors, and the resulting voice is unique. The distinct sapele back and sides offer rigid tonal control and structural integrity that aids in the guitar’s pronounced tone. It also helps stabilize the instrument under fluctuating climate changes and rough handling. Finally, the torrefied solid Sitka spruce top delivers a rich, balanced, and incredibly responsive tone that’s sure to inspire.

Taylor’s Expression System 2

Taylor’s Expression System 2 uses a proprietary pickup behind the saddle. The pickup’s three individually calibrated, precisely positioned piezo-electric sensors respond organically to the instrument’s acoustic energy as it’s transferred through the saddle. In concert with Taylor’s custom-designed preamp, the result is a natural acoustic sound with incredible dynamic range and responsiveness. Sweetwater’s guitar gurus are mightily impressed with Taylor’s Expression System 2.
