This Next Generation 512ce is a wonderful 12-fret that's not often found in the Taylor lineup, delivering a unique voice and design. The combination of the Cedar top and 12-fret neck allow for the articulate and rich nature of the smaller body to really shine, while the updated scalloped V-class bracing enhances the warmth and low-end projection. A fantastic update to the Andy Powers signature design and it works wonders on this guitar. The slotted headstock also allows for a more relaxed feel on the strumming hand, making for a delightful experience when played. 

The new Action Control neck allows for subtle neck angle adjustments, without needing to remove the neck and adjust a shim, making this a great guitar for dialing in the perfect neck/body geometry. This Next Gen model also sports Taylor's new Claria pickup system, which features Tone, Mid-contour, and volume controls, installed in the soundhole, this 9v-powered pickup utilizes an under-saddle piezo system to deliver your guitar's natural voice. 

All in all, a welcome step in an exciting direction from Taylor. Comes with a free Mass Street setup from our luthiers and a Taylor hardshell case.
