A great acoustic guitar should inspire nuance, reward expression, and reveal new layers of character with every note. Available now at Haggerty’s Music, the Taylor Next Generation 712ce represents a thoughtful evolution of one of Taylor’s most beloved Grand Concert models. Combining the warmth and responsiveness of a Western Red Cedar top with the lush harmonic complexity of East Indian rosewood, this reimagined 700 Series instrument delivers a rich, sophisticated voice designed for players who value touch sensitivity, articulation, and musical depth.

At the heart of the Next Generation platform is Taylor’s scalloped V-Class bracing, engineered by master luthier Andy Powers to unlock greater resonance, sustain, and dynamic range while preserving the intimate clarity that has long defined the Grand Concert body shape. The cedar top responds effortlessly to a light touch, producing warm fundamentals and blooming overtones that make fingerstyle passages feel alive and expressive. Paired with East Indian rosewood back and sides, the result is a beautifully balanced tonal palette with remarkable complexity, rich low-end warmth, and sparkling detail throughout the frequency spectrum.

Elegant appointments complete the package, including black body and fingerboard binding, a green abalone single-ring rosette, striking Reflections inlays, gold tuning machines, and ebony bridge pins with green abalone dots. The Venetian cutaway provides effortless upper-fret access, while Taylor’s Claria electronics system faithfully captures the guitar’s natural acoustic character for stage and studio performance. Complete with a Taylor hardshell case, the Next Generation 712ce stands as a refined expression of modern acoustic guitar design, offering exceptional comfort, responsiveness, and tonal beauty for discerning players.
