Here for sale we have a Taylor 812c Grand Concert Acoustic Guitar in Natural Gloss finish. Made in the USA in 1993, this guitar consists of a solid Sitka Spruce top, solid Indian Rosewood back and sides, a Mahogany neck, and a 20-fret Ebony fingerboard. Other appointments include Gold Grover Tuners, an Ebony bridge, Ebony bridge pins, and a venetian cutaway.
The Mahogany neck plays very well, with a 'C' profile that fills the hand nicely, feeling slender enough to inspire confidence and feel dependable without being at all cumbersome. The Ebony fingerboard feels smooth to the touch, and with the 15" radius provides a playing surface capable of a wide variety of playing styles, whilst fretting is a breezy and sumptuous affair in any register. The Grand Concert body design feels great in both seated and standing positions, making this guitar great for long durations of playing.
The acoustic voice of the Taylor 812c is bright and clear, with an unpronounced yet accurate low end, strong mid response and sparkling trebles which add a shimmer and chime to every note played on the instrument. The Grand Concert body design delivers the best of both large and compact bodies; sizable enough to produce a powerful and clear voice whilst remaining small enough to be comfortable in the arms. The Solid Sitka Spruce top projects beautifully and offers a wide dynamic range, whilst producing a warmer & more refined tone due to the guitar's age.
Please be aware that for international buyers import fees are not included in our postage and packaging cost, this only covers the cost of the guitar being sent to you. Import fees will be charged by Customs upon the guitar's arrival in the recipient country. Due to Brexit, this also applies to EU buyers. We advise checking the total import cost with Customs as this is not information we are able to accurately provide.
