The Taylor Guitars PS12ce 12-Fret Honduran Rosewood bears all the artful detailing and tonal sophistication that makes the Presentation Series the most elegant and well-appointed in the Taylor line. Solid Honduran rosewood back and sides pair with a sinker redwood top sourced from submerged logs in California riverbeds, resulting in a stunningly articulate, yet warm and balanced sound with soft-touch sensitivity and plenty of headroom for more aggressive playing styles. V-Class bracing dials up more volume and sustain inside the Grand Concert body, and the 12-fret setup brings your hands closer together for a more relaxed feel. The PS12ce 12-Fret features an armrest and slotted headstock along with inlays and details in mother-of-pearl and paua. It includes ES2 electronics and a hardshell case.
Features:
Grand Concert: A smaller-bodied guitar ideally suited for fingerstyle.
Honduran Rosewood: Extremely dense compared to other rosewood species, Honduran rosewood sings with a uniquely smooth voice that makes it worthy of our finest guitars.
Sinker Redwood: Tight grain structure and cross-grain stiffness produce a bold and brilliant response with warm overtones. Think cedar on steroids.
Expression System® 2: The Expression System® 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.
Venetian Cutaway: The Venetian cutaway is known for its soft, round lines. The sloping peak of the cutaway will vary depending on the shape of the body.
V-Class Bracing: Our patented V-Class bracing is a revolutionary new pattern — a new sonic engine — that marks a major shift away from traditional steel-string bracing patterns.
