The comfortable, slightly smaller body and string scale length fit any playing style, while with the contoured cutaway gives easy access to the upper frets. Plus, Taylor’s ES2 electronics provide ample tonal control and responsiveness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e700 Series Lutz\/Rosewood\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTaylor 700 series Lutz spruce\/rosewood editions blend robust tonal output lent by Lutz spruce—a naturally occurring hybrid of Sitka and White spruce, which tends to exhibit the characteristics of Adirondack spruce—to give players with a lively attack more tonal output and headroom, alongside the sweeping frequency range at both ends of the tonal spectrum provided by the Indian rosewood back and sides, with a scooped midrange to give players more high-end sizzle and clear articulation without the midrange bloom that’s more characteristic of mahogany.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrand Concert Cutaway\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith its shorter, 24 7\/8-inch scale length the Taylor Grand Concert body shape favors the fingerstyle player, as well as single-note lead and solo guitar arrangements, issuing notes with precise clarity and offering easy action even on the highest frets. The model’s smaller body makes for a comfortable feel, without skimping on rich, robust tonal resonance, or valuable volume. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQ: Does a cutaway diminish a guitar’s tonal output? \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Not in a discernible way. We recommend you decide based on whether you want that extra upper-fretboard range; or, if you simply have an aesthetic preference—either for a more traditional, symmetrical look of a non-cutaway, or in favor of the sleek, more modern contouring that the cutaway offers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eV-Class Bracing\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Taylor Grand Concert features Taylor’s innovative new V-Class bracing, which lets the soundboard of the guitar vibrate naturally, increasing sustain and overall cohesiveness, and generating additional volume without sacrificing sustain. This design puts the body more in tune with the strings, improving articulation and harmonic alignment,  resulting in a sound that is optimally warm and seasoned, nicely blended, and full of luscious low end without being muddy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eES2 Electronics\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Taylor Expression System 2 (ES2) delivers the latest technology in Taylor acoustic guitar amplification. The heart of the ES2 system is Taylor’s patented behind-the-saddle pickup, featuring three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors. The new positioning enables the piezo pickup’s crystals to respond more naturally to the guitar’s energy as it is transferred through the saddle, with three pickup sensors installed behind the saddle, through the bridge, with three tiny Allen screws that calibrate the position of the sensors in relation to the saddle. Together with Taylor’s custom-designed preamp, this ES2 system produces exceptional amplified tone and responsiveness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/b\u003e 24-7\/8\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut \u0026amp; Saddle: \u003c\/b\u003eTusq Nut\/Micarta Saddle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBracing: \u003c\/b\u003eV-Class\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTruss Rod Cover:\u003c\/b\u003e Black Plastic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickguard:\u003c\/b\u003e Weathered Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber of Frets: \u003c\/b\u003e20\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTuners:\u003c\/b\u003e Taylor Nickel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase: \u003c\/b\u003eTaylor Deluxe Hardshell Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Length:\u003c\/b\u003e 19 1\/2\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 15\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Depth:\u003c\/b\u003e 4 3\/8\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding\/Edge Treatment:\u003c\/b\u003e Non Figured Koa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTop Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Gloss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBack Config:\u003c\/b\u003e 2-piece No Wedge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBackstrap Finish\u003c\/b\u003e: None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRosette Size: \u003c\/b\u003e3-Ring\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Inlay: \u003c\/b\u003eNone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBack\/Side Finish: \u003c\/b\u003eGloss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArmrest Binding: \u003c\/b\u003eNone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBackstrap Wood:\u003c\/b\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRosette Mat.:\u003c\/b\u003e Douglas Fir Herringbone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eStain\/Sunburst:\u003c\/b\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWedge: \u003c\/b\u003eNone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArmrest:\u003c\/b\u003e No\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Width: \u003c\/b\u003e1-3\/4\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFretboard Inlay: \u003c\/b\u003eAbalone Reflections\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFretboard Binding\/Edge Treatment:\u003c\/b\u003e Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeel Cap Binding:\u003c\/b\u003e Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eType of Neck Joint: \u003c\/b\u003eTaylor Neck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck\/Heel: \u003c\/b\u003eTropical Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFretboard Wood:\u003c\/b\u003e Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Satin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeel Length: \u003c\/b\u003e3-1\/4\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Gloss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Binding:\u003c\/b\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Type: \u003c\/b\u003eStandard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Purfling:\u003c\/b\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeadstock Overlay:\u003c\/b\u003e Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Inlay:\u003c\/b\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Logo:\u003c\/b\u003e Taylor Mother of Pearl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Pins: \u003c\/b\u003eEbony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eButtons: \u003c\/b\u003eNickel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Ext: \u003c\/b\u003eNone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEdge Trim: \u003c\/b\u003eDouglas Fir Herringbone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Due to differences in wood grain, the item you receive may not exactly match the item in the photos.\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34301752901767,"sku":"A702001111004580000","price":4293.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/products\/taylor-acoustic-guitars-concert-taylor-712ce-grand-concert-lutz-spruce-indian-rosewood-natural-es2-w-v-class-bracing-a702001111004580000-28430628454535.jpg?v=1651123924","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.com\/en-ca\/products\/taylor-712ce-grand-concert-lutz-spruceindian-rosewood-661873","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
