Taylor's 112ce represents a compact Grand Concert design built around torrefied spruce construction and Expression System® 2 electronics. The left-hand configuration addresses an often–overlooked market segment, whilst the Venetian cutaway preserves tonal chamber volume in a body sized for lap playing and fingerstyle work. Torrefied spruce tops undergo a roasting process that accelerates wood ageing, yielding warmer harmonic character and increased clarity compared to untreated spruce.
Construction employs layered sapele for back and sides, paired with a mahogany or maple neck and ebony or eucalyptus fretboard depending on availability. The Expression System® 2 breakthrough behind–the–saddle pickup design captures dynamic playing nuance with minimal signal colouration when plugged into amplifier or PA systems. Low action and a slender neck profile reduce fretting resistance, whilst D'Addario XS Coated Phosphor Bronze Light strings (.012–.053) ship as standard. Transport protection arrives via an included lightweight gig bag.
The compact footprint suits fingerstyle players seeking articulate, balanced tone without the weight and size constraints of full–bodied dreadnoughts. Layered wood construction delivers durability and aesthetic appeal at a price point accessible to developing players, whilst torrefied spruce ensures the tonal depth and projection typically associated with higher–priced instruments. Factory–trained customer support and Taylor's Limited Lifetime Warranty (U.S./Canada) or Extended Warranty provide long–term confidence in the instrument.
