This fingerstyle dream blends the physical comfort of our compact Grand Concert body, the warm and responsive voice of mahogany topped with cedar, and the slinky handfeel of the 12-fret, 24-7/8-inch scale length neck into an effortlessly expressive 6-string. With the addition of V-Class bracing, the enhanced volume and sustain expand the dynamic range in both directions—making it both more responsive to a light touch and capable of handling a lively attack. The 12-fret configuration, which positions the bridge near the center of the lower bout, elicits extra warmth, power and sweetness, and those sonic traits are also enhanced by V-Class framework. Visually, the slotted headstock, grained ivoroid Century inlays, and faux tortoise shell binding and pickguard outfit the guitar with neo-vintage aesthetic appeal, while modern features include an elegant Venetian cutaway and proprietary Taylor ES2 electronics.
