312ce 12-Fret

With its accommodating Grand Concert body, solid tonewoods and V-Class bracing, the 312ce 12-Fret offers pro-level performance regardless of your ability. Sapele and spruce team up for a rich tone profile characterized by woody lows, pristine highs and a meaty midrange. The 12-fret configuration makes this model even more appealing, with a slightly more relaxed feel for your fretting hand than you'll find with standard models. With V-Class bracing for extra power and sustain, a built-in ES2 pickup and a hardshell case, the 312ce 12-Fret strikes a balance between functionality, comfort and value.

Features:

• Solid sapele back and sides with a spruce top
• Grand Concert body is compact and comfortable
• 12-fret setup provides a slinkier fretting feel
• V-Class bracing generates more volume and sustain
• Sleek appointments for an understated look
