The comfortably compact Grand Concert 412E-R LTD makes a wonderful fingerstyle guitar, combining a balanced, articulate voice with Indian rosewood’s broad sonic range and complexity, and of course signature Taylor playability. The result is a guitar with pleasing tonal definition that will fit well into a variety of playing scenarios, from solo fingerstyle to live performance and recording with other instruments. Taylor’s Performance bracing bolsters the tonal output and sustain, while aesthetic details include satin-finish back and sides, a gloss top, and other standard 400 Series appointments, including Italian acrylic dot inlays, white binding, a 3-ring rosette, and Taylor nickel tuners.
