About this listing
This guitar is a commission sale. If you have a high-end or vintage instrument you’re interested in selling, please contact us. Here for sale we have a Taylor NS-32ce Classical Electro-Acoustic guitar. Made in the US in 2002 this classical guitar features a bolt-on construction featuring Mahogany back and sides, Spruce top. Mahogany neck and 18 Ebony fingerboard. Other appointments include an Ebony bridge and aftermarket 3 on the side open gear tuning machines. A Fishman preamp system is fitted with shoulder-mounted controls.The Mahogany neck plays very well, with ‘D’ shaped neck profile providing a smooth and responsive playing experience across the register. The Matte finish to the rear is pleasant to the touch and assists with navigation of the 25.5" scale. The nut width of 1.880" will feel familiar to classical players without putting off those who are more used to steel-string acoustics. Certainly, the strings are well-spaced for accurate fretting across the register. The Ebony fingerboard is particularly dark in appearance, and with a nice tight grain adds a sense of luxury to the playing experience whilst providing a smooth and durable playing surface. The voice of the Taylor NS-32ce is nicely gentle and balanced, delivering an open clarity on both melodic lines, fingerstyle and chordal playing. The low end is warm without being too soft, the mid range is clear and open, whilst the top end is nice and bright without sounding brittle. Equally at home as a solo instrument or part of an ensemble, the Taylor NS-32ce makes an excellent stage-partner for the seasoned classical musician and dabbling steel string player alike.
