Taylor 212ce and 222ce-K DLX Demo from Peghead Nation

Taylor Guitars recently introduced two new grand concert models as part of its affordable 200 series. The 212ce is built with a spruce top and rosewood back and sides, while the 222ce-K DLX features all-koa construction. We had a chance to check them out side-by-side, and in this video, Peghead Nation’s Teja Gerken demonstrates the guitars.
For more info on the 212ce and 222ce-K DLX, please check out the full demo on Peghead Nation:

It is nice to see that Taylor does offer 1 & 11/16 nut width as a standard in some models. I never could get use to 1 & 3/4 that most Taylors have. I also like that these models stayed with the X bracing. Thank you for the review.

Excellent video. You helped me with my decision, thank you.

Great review. Love the GC size. Really tell the difference between the two sounds. That Koa top definitely has a smooth warmth to it.

Love the 222

And thank you Joseph Spence...

Nice review! Is that the neck the same as the 114e?

[@kimrileymusic]

Nut is definately narrower on the 212, I just traded my 114

@@kimrileymusic thank u very much! I have a yamaha apx5 and a Martin D-18 and i prefer the thin of yamaha. So I’ll buy a 212 because of the thinner neck. :)

[@kimrileymusic]

Yamahas have fantastic necks! These Taylor's are not as flat, slightly more rounded but still smaller than the USA Taylors starting at the 300 series. I just can't play them, too wide for me

[@carlosarbona9924]

@@kimrileymusic I also prefer thin necks

Didn't get to hear much of the guitars over a 12-minute video. Not much of a "Demo". That was disappointing.

Taylor is better sounding than your average Martin, IMO.🎼🩷
