{"product_id":"112ce-n","title":"Taylor 112ce-N Grand Concert Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural","description":"\u003ch2\u003eA Nylon-String Taylor That Plays Like a Taylor\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClassical guitar is a beautiful world — but for a lot of steel-string players, stepping into it can feel like learning a new instrument. Wide necks, open-slotted tuners, floppier strings, and a totally different feel. The Taylor 112ce-N sidesteps all of that friction. It gives you the warm, singing sweetness of nylon strings in a compact Grand Concert body that will feel immediately familiar if you've spent any time on a modern steel-string acoustic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is Taylor's first 100 Series nylon-string cutaway Grand Concert — and it's built around a solid torrefied spruce top that brings an almost \"broken-in\" quality right out of the box. Pair that with layered sapele back and sides, a standard Taylor neck carve, and onboard ES-N electronics, and you've got a nylon-string guitar that works just as naturally at an intimate singer-songwriter gig as it does for fingerstyle practice at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you've been curious about nylon strings but didn't want to completely upend your playing style to explore them, the 112ce-N is a genuine bridge between those two worlds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Solid Top Built for Warmth From Day One\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe standout tonewood here is the solid torrefied spruce top. Torrefaction is Taylor's process of heat-treating the spruce before it goes on the guitar — the result is a top that behaves acoustically like aged, played-in wood rather than something fresh off the shelf. \u003ccite\u003eFeaturing a solid, torrefied spruce top paired with layered sapele back and sides, this acoustic-electric offers a clear, balanced voice ideal for fingerstyle players and light strumming.\u003c\/cite\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eA specialized voicing architecture is designed to enhance the natural warmth and clarity of the nylon strings, providing a well-balanced and responsive tone.\u003c\/cite\u003e The layered sapele back and sides add structural stability — a smart choice for a guitar that's likely to move between gigs, lessons, and living rooms — while contributing a midrange focus that keeps the nylon-string character front and center.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Neck That Welcomes Steel-String Players\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the main reasons steel-string players avoid classical guitars is the neck. Traditional classical necks are wide, flat, and built around a very specific technique. The 112ce-N takes a different approach. \u003ccite\u003eIts 12-fret neck and 1-7\/8-inch nut width (narrower than a traditional classical guitar neck) make it easy to play, especially for those transitioning from steel-string guitars.\u003c\/cite\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eThe 112ce-N features a Standard Carve neo-tropical mahogany neck, and 1.875-inch nut width — a combination of specs that Sweetwater guitarists find far closer in feel to a standard Taylor than an old-school classical guitar.\u003c\/cite\u003e The scale length is 25-1\/2 inches — the same as most full-scale steel-string guitars — so your muscle memory for chord shapes and position playing carries right over. \u003ccite\u003eThe 12-fret geometry places the bridge in a livelier part of the lower bout for added warmth and touch sensitivity, and the Venetian cutaway grants easy access to upper registers.\u003c\/cite\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStage-Ready with Taylor ES-N Electronics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eEquipped with onboard ES-N electronics, the 112ce-N offers reliable amplified sound for studio settings and stage performances.\u003c\/cite\u003e The ES-N system is Taylor's dedicated nylon-string pickup solution — tuned to capture the particular resonance and dynamics of nylon rather than using a standard steel-string transducer. That matters in a live setting, where the nuance of fingerstyle playing and the softer attack of nylon strings can easily get lost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eIts matte-finished body features black binding and a 3-ring rosette. The ebony fretboard is inlaid with 4mm Dots in Italian acrylic and the slotted peghead is outfitted with classical nickel tuners.\u003c\/cite\u003e The West African Crelicam Ebony bridge and fretboard bring both visual warmth and a clean, responsive playing surface that suits the precision demands of fingerstyle technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grand Concert with Venetian cutaway\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid torrefied spruce — delivers a warm, resonant tone with a naturally \"played-in\" feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides:\u003c\/strong\u003e Layered sapele — focused midrange voice with excellent stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck:\u003c\/strong\u003e Neo-tropical mahogany, Standard Carve, 1-7\/8\" nut width — far more approachable than a traditional classical neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFretboard \u0026amp; Bridge:\u003c\/strong\u003e West African Crelicam Ebony with 4mm Italian acrylic dot inlays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25-1\/2\" — identical to most steel-string acoustics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElectronics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Taylor ES-N — optimized specifically for nylon-string amplification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrets:\u003c\/strong\u003e 17, with cutaway access to upper register\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matte body and neck with black binding and 3-ring rosette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTuners:\u003c\/strong\u003e Classical nickel, slotted peghead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Taylor Guitars\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 112ce-N\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 112CE-N\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1872, C.A.
