Taylor 855ce 12-String
Sorry, this product is temporarily out of stock.
The 12-string guitar is a part of Taylor’s heritage, changing players’ expectations about playability and intonation even back to the late ‘70s.
With a cutaway and the Expression System, the Taylor 855ce 12-string Jumbo Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar — already a monster among brawny 12-strings — shifts into overdrive. The Indian rosewood used on this instrument seems like it was created to be on a guitar with its clarity, balance, sustain, and excellent bass response. When paired with Sitka spruce, it is an unstoppable combination. Other features of this gorgeous acoustic include a bound neck and body, an Indian rosewood headstock overlay, pearl 800 series fingerboard inlays, gold-plated Taylor tuners with Ebonoid Buttons, and an abalone rosette.
The Jumbo's size suits it perfectly for aggressive strumming, but it's capable of sublime subtleties as well. While the shape gives you the greatest top surface, it's quelled by the waist's curvature and position. Taylor 12-strings deliver the same easy-to-hold, stay-in-tune playability as their six-string siblings. With their comfortable necks, Taylor 12-string guitars are ideal for the mainly six-string guitarist as well as the true 12-string enthusiast.
