Explanation
Taylor / 2014 812e 12-Fret
This instrument features a compact Grand Concert shape that fits comfortably against the body, yet delivers a rich, enveloping resonance that belies its delicate appearance. It is a masterpiece that brilliantly
shatters the long-held stereotype that small guitars have a light sound—from the very first chord.
The biggest secret behind this astonishing sound lies in its traditional construction: the 12-fret joint, where the neck is joined to the body at the 12th fret.
Compared to the standard 14th-fret joint, this placement positions the bridge near the center of the body top—the area where it vibrates most efficiently.
As a result, the high-quality Sitka spruce top vibrates dynamically, much like a drumhead, allowing the guitar to produce rich, warm mid-to-low frequencies despite its compact body.
The headstock features a classic slotted headstock design, which creates a unique, moderate string tension, resulting in a full-bodied, rich tone that doesn’t become thin even in the high register.
Fretwork is surprisingly smooth, responding with great sensitivity to even the slightest touch or nuances of dynamics from the fingertips.
In terms of appearance, the elegant design—featuring a high-quality rosewood pickguard and beautiful maple binding—showcases a luxurious use of natural wood, making it a beautiful piece of decor that delights the eye even when not being played.
Furthermore, equipped with Taylor’s high-performance ES2 pickup, it serves as a reliable companion that allows you to faithfully reproduce the natural, organic sound of an acoustic guitar through a line output—whether you’re taking on new challenges such as live performances, recording, or video streaming in the future.
Why not welcome this instrument—a perfect fusion of deep resonance and modern playability—as your lifelong partner?
