The Taylor 522e 12-Fret Electro Acoustic Guitar is the ultimate blues guitar.The Taylor 522e 12-Fret Electro Acoustic Guitar utilises the Grand Concert body to provide a smaller body, with a 24 7/8-inch scale, that is easier to handle and more comfortable to play. Another trait of the Grand Concert body shape is a slightly wider neck, which is perfect for complex finger-style playing. This, however, is not a limiting factor with the Taylor 522e 12-Fret, as it performs equally well as a strumming guitar as it does for fingerpicking.

With an all-mahogany body, the Taylor 522e 12 Fret Electro Acoustic Guitar is as distinctive tonally as it is visually, with its offering of meaty midrange character. Combined with the smaller body size this sound becomes very focussed, giving you the best of both the wood and the body shape. The guitar is beautifully understated with appointments including: ivoroid binding and rosette, ivoroid Century fretboard inlays, and a black pickguard.

Taylor Expression System 2

Ensuring you get the best from their own instruments, Taylor has created its own pickup design, which continues to improve. It is the updated version of this technology that you'll find in the Taylor 522e 12Fret Electro Acoustic Guitar; the Taylor Expression System 2.

Through their research Taylor found the best position for the pickup to be is behind the saddle, rather than under it, and they have repositioned theirs accordingly. The pickup in the guitar is made up of three sensors, which are installed through the bridge to ensure the voice of the Taylor 522e 12-Fret Electro Acoustic Guitar remains true when it is put through an amp, PA system or directly into recording software. Discreetly situated at the upper bout of the guitar you will find volume, treble, and bass controls.
