The 212ce Plus is a seriously well-crafted instrument. The torrefied top gives it a surprisingly mature voice, and the ES2 pickup is a huge upgrade for stage or recording. This is an excellent choice for gigging singer-songwriters or players wanting a comfortable, versatile, and premium-priced acoustic with great amplified tone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Torrefaction simulates aging, resulting in a more open, responsive tone with reduced stiffness and a warmer, more immediate character.
The ES2 is remarkably user-friendly; it captures a very natural acoustic tone with impressive dynamic range, making it great for live performance or recording.
The Grand Concert is smaller and more comfortable to hold than a dreadnought, but offers slightly less overall volume, making it ideal for fingerstyle and lighter strumming.
