Fountains of warmth
The wood of dreams. The tonewoods which make up the body and top of this guitar give it a superior sound. The back and sides are made from sapele, which gives the low end of each note you play luscious prominence. Perfect for fingerpicking, this guitar resonates with wonderous warmth, with the midrange also leaping out with a vibrant punch. Sapele also lends a good amount of definition to the top end, which means strummed chords will have a nice, gleaming sparkle which is perfect for virtually all types of playing.
The sitka spruce top adds even more quality to the tone of the 312ce-N. With a bright punch and plenty of projection, it will send your sound to a different realm. Favoured for its beautiful articulation of notes and crisp sonic definition, you'll find its response to your playing to be absolutely pristine. With these tonewoods by your side, your well-rounded tone will sing triumphantly.
Music for all to hear
Everything sounds better loud. But with an ES-N preamp system inside this guitar, your music will sound exceptional. It helps to transfer every iota of the 312ce-N's natural sound through an amplifier, giving it beautiful articulation and solid volume – without compromise. The handy EQ controls on the preamp allow you to carve out your tone and make it sing for exceptional music making. With this, you'll be able to add tonnes of definition to your songs, and excel in any live setting you find yourself in. As such, this is truly a professional standard guitar.
Playing perfection
It doesn't get better than this. The neck of this guitar offers everything the modern musician craves in a guitar. Made from high quality tropical mahogany, it will give you the most satisfying fretting experience imaginable, offering pure smoothness and comfort. With a warm resonance of its own, it will bring out the full potential of your music. Your notes will also ring out with conviction thanks to the pristine sustain which this professionally crafted neck offers.
Flawless fretting
Ebony. It gleams with dark beauty. But it's not all about looks. Being smooth and resonant, it is one of the most coveted fretboard woods, adding heaps of quality to your tone and playing. It is sonically bright, which helps to round out the warm tone of this guitar, adding a touch more definition to its high end. With this quality wood underneath your fingertips, your notes will soar out from the guitar like a flock of doves, and you'll have ample room to experiment.
A grand performance
The grand concert. It's become a household name amongst fingerpickers. Being a slightly smaller body size, it feels incredibly comfortable. It still retains exceptional projection, whilst nicely controlling the overtones of your strings. The cutaway shape also enables easy access to the upper frets, so you can play with complete liberation. It has a beautiful tone, and offers you the most compelling playing experience possible.
