Taylor 512ce Next Generation Grand Concert

Long favored for classical guitars, cedar tops deliver a warmer, sweeter response with appealing touch sensitivity and rich harmonic detail. Paired with Indian rosewood, cedar produces lush overtones and blooming complexity. Matched with mahogany, it emphasizes clarity, warmth and fundamental focus.

Scalloped V-Class bracing helps unlock more volume, sustain and overall resonance from cedar, expanding its dynamic range while preserving the Grand Concert body’s natural clarity and responsiveness.

The Grand Concert has long enticed players with its compact, accommodating body, soft-touch responsiveness, and clear, articulate voice. It’s a popular shape among fingerstyle players, though it adapts beautifully across playing styles and genres.

Our Next-Gen Grand Concerts serve up the clarity and focus players love with expanded warmth and dynamic range. It adds up to a contemporary sound that sonically punches above its weight.
