The instruments from the Taylor 400 series come including case
The Taylor 412ce-R produces a very mid-range and clear sound thanks to its compact construction and perfectly matched tonewoods. This spreads quickly and comprehensively even with light touches, which is due not least to the V-shaped bracing of the top and the gossamer-thin high-gloss finish. In addition, the flat neck in combination with the generous cutaway guarantees optimized access to all 20 frets. Clean intonation on the shortened 632 mm scale length is ensured at the same time by perfectly dressed hardware. In-house tuners are inserted into the characteristic headstock, allowing precise tuning of the 6 steel strings. With the help of the built-in pickup system, the acoustic sound can also be amplified without any problems, so that the guitar is ready for any occasion. Visually, the instrument is rounded off by filigree inlay work, which creates a decidedly harmonious overall appearance. The scope of delivery includes a sturdy Taylor Deluxe hardshell case.
The fully solid construction is made of Sitka spruce and Indian rosewood
The individual parts of the body are bordered with white bindings
Structure and woods
In order for the guitar to produce clear mid and treble frequencies, the top is made of Sitka spruce. The rosewood body additionally complements the sound with pleasant bass frequencies, so that the instrument easily asserts itself, especially at Pickings. In addition, the V-Class bracing ensures a two-dimensional vibration behavior of the top, which means that each note decays very long in the overtones. Meanwhile, a flat mahogany neck with an ebony fingerboard ensures comfortable playability, which can be operated very obligingly up to the highest frets.

Hardware and design
The compensated saddle made of Micarta and the 44,45 mm wide nut made of Black Graphite ensure a clean sound development of the complete tonal range. In addition, the Grand-Auditorium is equipped with nickel-plated tuners, with which the strings can be tuned very easily. The rosewood overlay of the headstock is decorated with a fine Renaissance inlay that matches the Inlays of the fingerboard. The soundhole is surrounded by a three-ring soundhole rosette, against which a large tortoise pickguard rests. The body is surrounded with a contrasting white binding.
Electronics
Taylor 's proprietary Expression System 2 takes sound directly from each pair of strings via threepiezo elements in the bridge. This allows the natural sound of the instrument to be passed directly to the amplifier, resulting in no loss of tone. The side-premo has three controls with which the treble, as well as the bass frequencies and the volume can be individually adjusted. Directly next to the socket is the battery compartment of the 9V block battery with which the active system is operated.
