Taylor 522ce 12-Fret V-Class Grand Concert Acoustic Guitar, Natural

Taylor Guitars was founded in 1974 by Bob Taylor and Kurt Listug, and has grown into the leading global builder of premium acoustic guitars. Renowned for blending modern, innovative manufacturing techniques with a master craftsman's attention to detail, Taylor acoustic guitars are widely considered among the best-sounding and easiest to play in the world, with Bob himself being known throughout the musical instrument industry as the visionary acoustic guitar manufacturer.

This 500 Series mahogany-top Grand Concert 522ce 12 Fret will appeal to rootsy fingerstyle players who want a comfortable playing experience and enjoy the sound and look of an all mohogany guitar. The combination of a 12-fret neck, slightly shorter 24-7/8-inch scale length, and a shifted bridge position (closer to the centre of the lower bout) produces a slinkier handfeel, while the mahogany top and body produce a signature midrange warmth and focus with a natural compression. Taylor's new patented V-Class bracing pattern coaxes new levels of projection, sustain, and improved intonation out of the guitar. The interior label on all V-Class guitars bears the signature of master guitar designer Andy Powers. A smooth shaded edge burst adds a tasteful vintage look to the rich-grained mahogany top. With appointments like a faux tortoise pickguard, slotted headstock and grained ivoroid "Century" fretboard inlays, this model is also fitted with Taylor's ES2 system and is ready for thall-mohoganye stage.
