812e 12-Fret (2020)
With their lower string tension and added midrange heft, our 12-fret guitars offer players an elevated playing experience on virtually every front. The 812e 12-Fret, designed without a cutaway, generates rich sparkle and warmth soaked in lush overtones. Crisp, bell-like highs make for a high-definition, articulate sound, making the 812e 12-Fret an ideal choice for fingerstyle applications. Under the hood, V-Class bracing helps push more volume and longer sustain from the solid Indian rosewood back and sides and Sitka spruce top. Detailed with elegant appointments in wood and shell and equipped with ES2 electronics for organic-sounding live tone, this Grand Concert is distinctive in both sound and presentation.
