Description
Created to honour Guitar Center’s iconic Hollywood store, the Taylor Sunset Blvd 312e-N is a compact Grand Concert nylon electro acoustic that blends neo-classical warmth with Taylor’s famously easy playability. With a responsive Western Red cedar top, solid sapele back and sides and Taylor’s Claria pickup system, it is perfect for players looking to add rich nylon textures to their sound without sacrificing comfort or clarity. Designed for fingerstyle and melodic playing, the 312e-N’s nylon-specific bracing and smaller body deliver a mellow, balanced voice that sits beautifully in a mix or solo setting. A slim neo-tropical mahogany neck, radiused West African Crelicam ebony fretboard and 1-7/8″ nut width make it a natural step for steel-string players exploring nylon, while tasteful Sunset Blvd Collection details and 50th Anniversary Diamond inlays give it a distinctive, celebratory look. Neo-classical Tone with Cedar and Sapele The Western Red cedar top responds instantly to a light touch, rewarding fingerstyle players with a warm, rounded attack and excellent dynamic nuance. Paired with solid sapele back and sides, the Sunset Blvd 312e-N offers a balanced tonal profile with clear mids, controlled lows and sweet, singing trebles that work equally well for classical-inspired pieces, bossa nova, jazz or modern acoustic arrangements. Comfortable Grand Concert Body The non-cutaway Grand Concert body keeps the guitar compact and comfortable, ideal for players who prefer a smaller instrument that sits close to the body whether seated or standing. Its focused projection helps your playing remain articulate and defined, making it a great choice for recording, ensemble work or any situation where you want nylon warmth without losing note separation. Steel-string Friendly Nylon Neck A neo-tropical mahogany neck with Taylor’s Standard Carve profile and a radiused West African Crelicam ebony fretboard delivers a familiar feel for acoustic players moving to nylon. The 1-7/8″ nut width offers enough room for clean chord voicings and classical techniques while still feeling approachable for players used to narrower steel-string necks, reducing the learning curve and fatigue. Stage-ready with Claria Electronics Equipped with Taylor’s Claria Acoustic Pickup System, the 312e-N translates its natural nylon voice into an amplified setting with clarity and balance.
