Description
Taylor's Builder's Edition 912ce WHB is the first 900 series guitar to get the Builder's Series treatment, with no stone left unturned in making it of the sweetest-sounding, best playing, and most aesthetically pleasing Taylor's ever made. Designed to the exact specs Andy Powers, who brought V-Class bracing to Taylor, the 912ce WHB features a pairing of Lutz spruce and solid East Indian rosewood in the top and back of the guitar, respectively. These tonewoods work in conjunction with the guitar's Grand Concert shape and V-Class bracing system to deliver natural, yet deep and textured tone, with heaps of sustain and a resonant in-hand feel, all without the bulk of a jumbo or dreadnought shape. The Builder's Edition 912ce WHB is a joy to play as well, with a beveled armrest, beveled cutaway, and contoured body and fretboard edges that yields one of the smoothest playing experiences ever felt in an acoustic guitar. This seamless playing experience extends up the guitar’s Tropical Mahogany neck and West African Crelicam Ebony fingerboard, with Mother of Pearl inlays in a Belle Fleur design. Plus, it comes with Taylor's exceptional proprietary Expression System 2 (or ES2) electronics, and a deluxe Taylor hardshell case to keep it safe and sound. The Taylor Builder's Edition 912ce WHB truly pulls out all the stops, from its pleasing looks to its remarkable in-hand feel and vibrant, lively tone.
