Overview
The design goal of the A12 Grand Concert guitar is to bring Taylor's legendary playability and tone to all players. Easy on the fingertips, the A12 produces a rich, crisp responsive voice that suits a variety of musical styles and responds well to both fingerpicking and flatpicking. Another inviting feature is a built-in armrest to enhance the playing comfort.
Features include layered sapele back/sides, solid Sitka spruce top, mahogany armrest, West African ebony fingerboard and bridge, 24-7/8-inch scale length, and 1-11/16-inch nut width. Steel-string models are strung with Elixir Phosphor Bronze Light strings. Other series details include a 3-ring Baltic birch rosette, 4mm Italian acrylic dot fretboard inlays, and matte finish. The guitars ship in a Taylor gig bag.
Enhanced Playability
Our sleek, hand-friendly necks feature light-gauge strings and optimized dimensions for a slinky feel.
A Comfortable Armrest
This ergonomic feature is built into the guitar body to offer a more relaxed and rewarding playing experience.
Killer Sound
Besides clear tone and impeccable intonation, these guitars are voiced to respond easily to a player's touch.
Quality Construction
Our guitars are engineered to last a lifetime. Our patented neck and durable body design make these guitars easy to maintain.
Affordability
An emphasis on design simplicity enabled us to produce a fully engineered Taylor guitar at an entry-level price.
