NGD - 712 Nylon, 12 fret, Western Sunburst
« on: June 14, 2017, 12:28:17 AM »
Sorry for the long gap between posts.  I'll try to be a more consistent forum member.  I gig with a 414 FLTD Nylon, but i recently played a 712 Nylon at Gryphon Strings and fell in love with it.  The projection is much different than I've experienced in the past. Not sure if it's the 12-fret difference or if Taylor changed its nylon bracing as well.

Anyways, definitely throaty, incredible balance across the strings and of course it plays like butter.  Added bonus is that someone at Gryphon took a video of me the day I bought it!  So here are a couple of pictures and a short video.

The new 712ce-N is a fantastic guitar and looks as good as it sounds with that western sunburst.  Enjoy!

Congrats ! It's a beautiful guitar.
It is actually the first Taylor nylon guitar I've heard that really speaks to me.
Maybe indeed because of the 12-fret construction ?

That sounds great. It is my understanding that the nylon series bracing underwent a change. I do know that recent models sound better to me.

Does your 712 nylon have the lutz top?
