Exceptionally long Sustain in the overtones.

The Taylor 612ce convinces with its dry maple sound, which, thanks to the compact Grand Concert design, comes through excellently on pickings. This is aided not only by a razor-thin high-gloss finish but also by the innovative V-Class bracing, which ensures the two-dimensional vibration behaviour of the top wood. As a result, the fully solid acoustic guitar produces every note with a fast response and has an exceptionally long Sustain in the overtones. At the same time, the flat neck promises excellent playability in all 20 frets, which are given optimized access by a generous cutaway. Meanwhile, the compensated saddle and nut ensure clean intonation on the shortened 632 mm scale. With the help of the in-house pickup system, the acoustic sound can also be shown off to its best advantage on stage or in the rehearsal room. Visually, the instrument is refined by fine wood bindings, delicate inlay work and an eye-catching, dyed maple pickguard. The scope of delivery includes a sturdy case.

Taylor - The epitome of fine quality

As one of the largest guitar manufacturers, Taylor is truly an authority in the production of first-class instruments. Thus, professional manufacturing by skilled craftsmen results in the very finest products for life, whose value is always maintained - or even increased! This is due in equal part to exquisite tonewoods, which do not warp due to long storage and selected quality and as a result can hardly be surpassed in terms of high quality. Only spruce, mahogany, cedar or Koa of proven quality are used for the tops. By the way, careful production in combination with the best materials does not only apply to guitars. Guitar bags and all accessories are also of first-class quality. Finally, a conscientious final inspection does not let even the smallest defects pass and ensures absolutely flawless guitars even before shipment.

And that's not all: Taylor also attaches great importance to environmentally conscious actions.

Ebony & Koa: Sustainability at Taylor Guitars

Uncontrolled clearing of forests and overexploitation lead to massively endangered wood species, which can no longer regenerate due to the high pace of mining. These include ebony and koa in particular, whose dwindling stocks and the resulting ecological problems have prompted a rethink at Taylor Guitars.

Siglo Tonewoods Project

Koa acacia populations have also suffered severe losses over the last 20 years. Unsustainable forestry as well as overexploitation led to a decline that can only be stopped by proactive action and reforestation. Therefore, Taylor Guitars together with Pacific Rim Tonewoods founded the Siglo Tonewoods project, which aims to rebuild the Hawaiian virgin forest. This is a large cultivation area for koa acacia and other species, which allows the use of koa wood on a controlled scale.
