The 112ce-S is a fantastic all-around guitar – really well-balanced, comfortable to play, and sounds great both acoustic and plugged in. It’s a sweet choice for gigging singer-songwriters or students who want a quality instrument with a built-in pickup system without the premium price tag. The sound is clear and present, making it versatile for many genres.

PROS
- • Solid Sitka spruce top delivers a bright, articulate, and responsive tone.
- • Sapele back and sides provide warmth and a pleasing, focused low-end response.
- • Expression System 2 pickup offers remarkably natural amplified sound with excellent clarity.
- • Forward shifted bracing enhances projection and reduces unwanted string buzz.
CONS
- • Laminated Sapele back/sides limit the ultimate resonance and complexity compared to all-solid wood models.
- • The shorter scale length (25.5") might feel a little cramped for players with larger hands.
- • The gig bag is functional, but a hardshell case would offer significantly better protection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sapele will generally give you a more focused, articulate sound with a slightly stronger low-end compared to the warmer, more rounded tone of Mahogany.
Absolutely; it’s designed for both. It captures the guitar's natural dynamics very well, minimizing the 'artificial' sound often associated with acoustic pickups.
The Mexican-made Taylors are exceptionally well-built; you'll find similar craftsmanship and attention to detail, though some subtle cosmetic differences may exist. It’s an excellent value proposition.
