Taylor 412ce-R 2024 – V-Class Bracing – Includes Taylor Deluxe Hardshell Case – Used Mint
The 412ce-R sits in a genuinely sweet spot in Taylor's lineup — the Grand Concert body shape, which Taylor designed specifically for players who want a more intimate, articulate acoustic experience than a dreadnought provides, paired with the tonewood combination that has been the benchmark for acoustic guitar building for generations. Solid Indian rosewood back and sides against a solid Sitka spruce top is a pairing that delivers the full tonal spectrum with exceptional clarity and balance — warm and complex lows from the rosewood, a broad, dynamic range from the spruce top, and that characteristic slight midrange scoop that leaves room in the mix for vocals and other instruments. The Grand Concert body accentuates the rosewood's natural detail and sparkle, making this model particularly compelling for fingerstyle players and anyone working in a recording context where tonal articulation matters. V-Class bracing is the engineering story that ties it all together — resolving the fundamental tension between sustain and volume that has defined acoustic guitar construction for over a century, delivering a guitar that is simultaneously louder and more sustained than an X-braced instrument, and more consistently in tune with itself across the full fretboard. The shorter 24-7/8-inch scale length adds a touch of fretting comfort and a slightly more elastic string feel, the Venetian cutaway opens up the upper register, and the West African Crelicam ebony fingerboard and bridge with Renaissance mother-of-pearl inlays give the guitar a refined, elegant appearance. Taylor ES2 electronics, nickel tuners, white binding, tortoise pickguard, and a full-gloss finish complete an instrument that is built to the exacting standard Taylor has developed over fifty years of serious guitar making.
This one was purchased new here at Mill River Music, gently played by one adult owner, and just traded back in. It has been serviced by our Taylor-certified technicians and is set up and ready to go. It sounds exceptional and plays like butter — as close to new as a used guitar gets. Comes with the original Taylor deluxe hardshell case.
