{"product_id":"2021-taylor-912ce-v-class-engelmann-spruce-indian-rosewood-w-case","title":"2021 Taylor 912ce V-Class Engelmann Spruce\/Indian Rosewood w\/Case","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 912ce is in excellent condition and has clearly lived a very gentle life. The Engelmann spruce top is clean with no dings, dents, or pick wear. The gloss finish on the rosewood back and sides is equally clean — no belt buckle rash, no arm wear, no marks worth mentioning. Frets show no discernible wear and the ebony fretboard is in perfect shape. The neck is straight and the action is where you'd want it. Gold Gotoh tuners are all functioning smoothly with no tarnishing. Electronics are working as they should. All original, no modifications or repairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis was a custom-ordered instrument with an Engelmann spruce top in place of the standard Sitka — a meaningful upgrade that gives the top a richer midrange character and slightly more complex harmonic response than the production spec.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncludes the original Taylor deluxe hardshell case in excellent condition. Weighs 4 lbs 10 oz.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaylor's 912ce is the Grand Concert entry in the 900 Series — their most refined class of Indian rosewood guitars, built in El Cajon with V-Class bracing and a level of appointment that puts it squarely in flagship territory. The Grand Concert body is Taylor's most intimate shape, with a compact frame and 24-7\/8\" scale length that keeps string tension relaxed and makes it an exceptionally comfortable fingerstyle guitar. But V-Class bracing gives it more volume and sustain than a small body has any right to produce, with improved intonation across the neck that makes every chord voicing ring true.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis particular example was custom-ordered with an Engelmann spruce top, which shifts the tonal character slightly from the standard Sitka — a touch more warmth and harmonic richness in the midrange, with a maturity to the voice that rewards a lighter touch. Paired with Indian rosewood back and sides, the result is articulate and balanced with clear note separation, strong lows, and trebles that shimmer without getting brittle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 900 Series appointments are all here: West African Crelicam ebony for the fretboard, bridge, binding, and armrest, with koa and paua edge trim running the body, fretboard, and headstock. The Ascension inlay pattern in paua and mother-of-pearl catches light beautifully, and the contoured ebony armrest is one of those details you appreciate more the longer you play. Gold Gotoh tuners, ES2 electronics behind the saddle, and a gloss finish round it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBody Shape: Grand Concert with Venetian Cutaway\u003cbr\u003eTop: Engelmann Spruce (Custom Order)\u003cbr\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides: Solid Indian Rosewood\u003cbr\u003eBracing: V-Class\u003cbr\u003eNeck: Tropical Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard: West African Crelicam Ebony\u003cbr\u003eFrets: 20\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 24-7\/8\"\u003cbr\u003eNut Width: 1-3\/4\" (44.5mm)\u003cbr\u003eNut\/Saddle: Black Graphite \/ Micarta\u003cbr\u003eInlays: Ascension, Paua and Mother-of-Pearl\u003cbr\u003eBinding: West African Crelicam Ebony\u003cbr\u003eEdge Trim: Koa \/ Paua \/ Koa\u003cbr\u003eArmrest: Contoured West African Crelicam Ebony\u003cbr\u003eBridge: West African Crelicam Ebony\u003cbr\u003eTuners: Gold Gotoh\u003cbr\u003eElectronics: Taylor Expression System 2 (ES2)\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Gloss\u003cbr\u003eStrings: Elixir Phosphor Bronze Light\u003cbr\u003eCase: Taylor Deluxe Hardshell (Included)\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 4 lbs 10 oz\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52454606143800,"sku":"210000029628","price":5700.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0255\/2712\/4002\/files\/r6kaxp9eoa1dt3epsnsf.jpg?v=1780430558","url":"https:\/\/guitarworks.ca\/products\/2021-taylor-912ce-v-class-engelmann-spruce-indian-rosewood-w-case","provider":"Guitarworks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
