The 512ce stands out as one of the initial models to incorporate back and sides made from solid Urban Ironbark, a dense and hard tonewood known for its rich, sophisticated sound profile. It delivers a deep low end and a high-fidelity voice that echoes the qualities of Indian rosewood, while also capturing some of mahogany's midrange punch and clarity. This Grand Concert 512ce model combines Urban Ironbark with a torrefied Sitka spruce top, introducing a played-in vibe that results in a warm, piano-like sound characterized by exceptional balance across the tonal spectrum.

Equipped with V-Class bracing, this compact acoustic-electric guitar produces room-filling projection and blooming sustain, presenting a muscular sound that remains responsive to gentle playing. The guitar is adorned with new Aerial inlays made from Italian acrylic, a single-ring abalone rosette accented with maple and black purfling, and an elegantly subtle edgeburst finish.
