Pre-Owned 2020 Taylor 362ce Grand Concert 12-String Shaded Edgeburst With OHSC
This Taylor 362ce is an incredible 12-string acoustic that brings you exceptional playablility with fanastic tones. It's another example of a guitar that is here for the second time - it was a brand new guitar sold to a long time customer/collector friend of ours, and is now here as part of the estate collection. Barely (if at all) played, it's in excellect condition.
Built around Taylor’s incredibly comfortable Grand Concert cutaway body shape, this instrument showcases a progressive design for a 12-string. By utilizing a 12-fret neck joint and a slightly shorter 24-7/8-inch scale length, Taylor has created a playing experience unlike any other. The reduced string tension makes complex fretting and chord playing feel effortless. The more compact body size delivers an acoustic voice that sits perfectly in a recording mix with a tight low-end. The secret to this guitar’s uniquely warm and smooth character lies in its carefully curated tonewood pairing.
Featuring a solid hardwood Mahogany top matched with Tasmanian Blackwood back and sides, the 362ce naturally reins in the harsh, piercing high frequencies that can sometimes plague 12-string acoustics. The mahogany soundboard introduces a beautiful touch of natural compression to your pick attack, evening out the overall dynamic response and creating a perfectly balanced voice across the entire frequency spectrum. The result is a rich, woody midrange punch that still beautifully showcases that essential, shimmering 12-string octave chime.
Visually and electronically, this Grand Concert is a masterclass in understated elegance and gig-ready functionality. The guitar is draped in a dusky Shaded Edgeburst finish, which is complemented by a smooth, all-satin coat that feels wonderfully organic in your hands and enhances the instrument's resonant qualities. For the performing musician, it comes equipped with Taylor’s industry-leading Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics, featuring a patented behind-the-saddle pickup design that translates the true acoustic nuance and acoustic shimmer flawlessly to a PA or amplifier. Shipping in a deluxe hardshell case for maximum protection on the road, it is a professional-grade tool designed to make 12-string expression a joyful, effortless experience.
Taylor's Grand Concert 12-string guitars have been a revelation to players who’ve otherwise avoided 12-strings due to their traditionally bulkier size. There's a good reason that they are so popular. Easy to play, sounding great, and of course looking beautiful - this is a great find.
The techs in our shop have setup the guitar to play perfectly, and it's ready to go with the original hardshell case.
