Features Tropical mahogany body and topTropical mahogany neck and heelEbony fingerboard and distinctive appointmentsTaylor Expression 2 electronicsIncludes case Description Product Description This 500 Series 522e Grand Concert 12-Fret Acoustic-Electric Guitar blends mahogany's meaty midrange character with the focused sound of a smaller body, and incorporates a 12-fret design for a slightly warmer, more "broken-in" tone. The short-scale (24-7/8-inch) neck also makes fretting easier. Distinctive appointments include a black pickguard, ivoroid binding and rosette, an ivoroid Century fretboard inlay, and Taylor Expression System 2 acoustic electronics. Includes case.Grand Concert (GC)Body Length: 19-1/2" / Body Width: 15" / Body Depth: 4-3/8"A smaller bodied guitar ideally suited for fingerstyle.The small-body Grand Concert debuted in 1984 to meet the needs of a new wave of adventurous acoustic fingerstyle players. In contrast to the traditionally darker, boomier voices of bigger body styles like dreadnoughts and jumbos, the GC's compact size and tapered waist kept the overtones in check. It was also more comfortable to play while sitting down, and the guitar's slightly wider neck gave players more room for complex fingerings. The GC's smaller sonic footprint also fit cleanly in a mix with other instruments when tracking in the studio and with a band on stage, making it a useful tool for professional session and side players.

If you feel more comfortable with a small body or favor controlled overtones, a Grand Concert is a great option.Tropical MahoganyOrigin: Central and South AmericaMahogany is a good wood to anchor a discussion of tones, as a lot of other wood tones can be described in relation to it. Its essential sonic profile is well represented in the midrange frequencies. Acoustic guitars in general tend to live in the midrange portion of
