Taylor Next Generation 312ce

Taylor’s high-value Grand Concert gets a makeover.

As the entry-point into Taylor’s solid-wood line of guitars, the 300-series has always offered fantastic value. Sharing the same fundamental design as higher-end Taylors, 300s are built in the company’s original El Cajon, California, factory, and their friendlier pricing puts them into the reach of more players. The 312ce is a perennial favorite Grand Concert-size guitar, and the model now includes Taylor’s Next Generation upgrades: the Action Control neck, scalloped V-Class bracing, and the new Claria pickup. In this video, Peghead Nation’s Teja Gerken demonstrates the resulting Next Generation 312ce.
