Discover compact solid-wood tone and modern Taylor performance with the Taylor 312ce Next Generation 2026 Acoustic Electric Guitar - Natural, available at Irvine Art and Music. Built around Taylor’s comfortable Grand Concert body shape, this acoustic-electric pairs a solid Sitka spruce top with solid sapele back and sides for a clear, responsive voice with a balanced midrange and refined playing feel.

Compact Grand Concert Comfort

The Grand Concert body gives the 312ce Next Generation an intimate, easy-to-hold feel that works beautifully for fingerstyle, light strumming, songwriting, and recording. Its compact frame keeps the guitar comfortable in the lap while still offering impressive projection and sustain for its smaller size.

Next Generation Taylor Performance

Scalloped V-Class bracing helps add power, sustain, low-end presence, and responsiveness to the solid spruce and sapele body. Taylor’s Action Control Neck adds another layer of player-focused convenience, allowing the action to be adjusted more easily without removing or detuning the strings.

Stage-Ready Claria Electronics

The onboard Claria electronics system gives the 312ce Next Generation a clean, performance-ready amplified voice for live playing, rehearsal, and recording setups. Paired with a Venetian cutaway for upper-fret access and a deluxe hardshell case for protection, this model is built for players who want a premium acoustic-electric that is practical on and off stage.
