The classic tonewood combination of Indian rosewood and Sitka spruce delivers a lush overtone profile with crisp trebles and a rich low end, framing a slightly scooped midrange that leaves room in the mix for other musicians. The compact Grand Concert body shape and slender Taylor neck make for a relaxed, accommodating feel, along with an articulate sound that makes this model especially ideal for fingerstyle players. Appointments include a new Finial inlay design to complement the sunburst top finish. Overview Grand Concert The smaller body of the 412ce is optimised for fingerstyle. Indian Rosewood The tonewood favourite. Renowned, classic, and versatile, Bob Taylor puts Indian rosewood among the best tonewoods ever.

Expression System® 2 The Expression System® 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a groundbreaking behind-the-saddle design. Venetian Cutaway The Venetian cutaway is known for its soft, curved lines. The sloping peak of the cutaway varies depending on the body shape.
