The Taylor 362ce 12-string Acoustic-Electric Guitar offers a beautifully balanced, shimmering octave sound in a compact Grand Concert body, making it one of the most comfortable and playable 12-string guitars available. Constructed with an all-mahogany body, the 362ce delivers a warm, punchy midrange response that is balanced across the entire frequency spectrum. The innovative V-Class bracing enhances volume, sustain, and overall tonal clarity, while the solid mahogany top provides a focused sound with minimal overtones, even under aggressive playing.

With a slightly shorter scale length of 24-7/8 inches, the 362ce ensures a smoother, more comfortable playing experience, making it easier to hold notes and chords. Visually, this guitar stands out with its rich, dark edgeburst finish and a classic firestripe pickguard. Featuring Taylor's renowned ES2 electronics, the 362ce delivers a dynamic and natural amplified tone, perfect for live performances and studio recordings. This model comes complete with a durable hardshell case, ensuring your guitar stays protected wherever you go.

Balanced Tone and Easy Playability for Fingerstyle Players

Unlike traditional 12-string guitars with a boomy, powerful low end, the Taylor 362ce features a Grand Concert body shape that tightens up the bass for a more balanced tone. The all-mahogany construction adds warmth and richness to the sound, offering a slightly darker, more vintage tone that fingerstyle players will love. The shorter scale length and 12-fret neck joint provide a slinkier feel, making this 12-string guitar ideal for players who prefer a lighter touch.

Premium Mahogany Build for Warmth and Sustain

The Taylor 362ce is built with premium mahogany for the top, back, and sides, offering a warm, rich, and slightly darker tone compared to more traditional 12-string guitars. This construction provides a distinctive treble punch, making it perfect for live mixes or recording sessions where clarity is key. The slim mahogany neck and West African ebony fingerboard offer a comfortable playing feel, allowing for easy fretting and smooth transitions.

Natural Amplified Sound with Taylor ES2 Electronics

Equipped with the Taylor Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics, the 362ce captures the guitar's natural acoustic sound with exceptional clarity and dynamic range. The proprietary three-section pickup, positioned behind the saddle, effectively captures the vibrations of the guitar, while the built-in controls for volume, bass, and treble allow for easy tonal adjustments. Whether you’re performing on stage or recording in the studio, the ES2 electronics deliver a truly remarkable plugged-in sound.

Innovative V-Class Bracing for Enhanced Tone and Sustain

Taylor's revolutionary V-Class bracing is a game-changer in the world of acoustic guitars. This proprietary bracing pattern enhances the guitar's volume, sustain, and overall tonal clarity, providing a more dynamic and balanced sound. With V-Class bracing, the 362ce delivers long, sustained notes and superior resonance, making it a standout choice for both seasoned players and beginners.
