Pre Owned Taylor 1996 512 Natural With Seymour Duncan Mic Mag Pickup
It's 1996 and this Taylor's in the mix! Here's this Taylor 512 in Natural, a golden-era acoustic from the days when Taylor was cementing its reputation for world-class guitars with "bolt-on" neck precision.
Built on Grand Concert body shape, it features a solid Sitka spruce top paired with premium solid mahogany back and sides, a combination prized for its punchy midrange and warm, dry woody tone. The 1990s were the early days of this legendary company and often considered a "sweet spot" for Taylor production, and this 512 is a great example. Whether its the gloss natural finish that has aged beautifully, the mahogany neck with an ebony fingerboard, it all offers that signature Taylor fast feel that makes it play more like an electric than a traditional acoustic.
This specific 512 has been professionally gig-readied with a Seymour Duncan Mag Mic pickup system. This high-end setup combines a hum-canceling magnetic pickup with an omnidirectional condenser microphone tucked inside the soundhole, giving you a remarkably natural, "airier" amplified tone that standard undersaddle piezos simply can't match. With the onboard blend control, you can dial in the percussive "snap" of the magnetic poles for high-volume stages or lean into the microphone for a lush, studio-quality acoustic bloom that captures every nuance of your fingerstyle or flatpicking.
The hardware and appointments on this '96 model reflect Taylor’s high-end craftsmanship, including gold Grover tuners that provide rock-solid stability and a great aesthetic. The ebony bridge and TUSQ nut/saddle ensure maximum energy transfer to the spruce top, resulting in balanced tones that sit perfectly in a recording mix. With its elegant abalone rosette, multi-ply binding, and decades of natural opening up.
This 512 is in great condition considering it just turned 30, and comes with its original hardshell case. The techs in our shop have set it up to play perfectly - it's ready to go.
