Taylor 522E 12-Fret Mahogany Grand Concert Electro-Acoustic Guitar
Out of stock
Unavailable for purchase
The Taylor 522e combines the portability and playability of the smaller-bodied Grand Concert bodyshape with the prominent, focused sound of a Mahogany body wood. It responds well to players with a strong attack who like dry, earthy, low-fi sounds, but with a natural compression.
The 522e's compact dimensions make for a physically comfortable guitar with an intimate feel and sound that will work well for blues, country and ragtime picking, with the added playing comfort of a short-scale (24-7/8-inch) neck.
Smaller 12-Fret Design, All-Mahogany Construction And High-Grade Electronics
Taylor's smallest full-size shape has compact dimensions all around, which make for a physically comfortable, lap-friendly playing experience. The Grand Concert's slight waist and shallower body depth help produce a balanced sound across the tonal spectrum, with the kind of note definition that fingerstyle guitarists and session and stage players tend to appreciate. The smaller body also means the guitar's voice won't take up too much sonic space in a mix with other instruments. This makes the 522e a good match for people with smaller hands, older players, people with hand ailments, and really anyone looking to reduce the stress on their fretting hand.
Taylor's breakthrough Expression System 2 acoustic pickup marks a major advance in piezo technology thanks to a patented behind-the-saddle design. The unique placement of three piezo sensors captures a more dynamic range of acoustic sound and responds well in a variety of settings.
Distinctive appointments on the 522E include a black pickguard, ivoroid binding and rosette, and an ivoroid Century fretboard inlay. Branded Taylor hard case also included.
As with all Taylor Acoustics, the 500 series employ their patented NT Neck (New Technology) design, ebony fretboard and Elixir strings for a comfortable playing experience. With Taylor's ongoing commitment to sustainable tonewood sourcing, they are supporting the highest levels of ethical, eco-conscious business.
