That Unmistakable Taylor 12-String Shimmer
There’s a reason the Taylor 150ce is one of the best-selling 12-string guitars on the planet. It delivers that iconic, chorus-like jangle and cannon-like projection in a package that feels incredible to play. Forget those chunky, hard-to-play 12-strings of the past; this one features Taylor’s legendary slim neck profile, making it a breeze to fret chords and fly up and down the neck. It’s the perfect entry point into the world of 12-strings, offering pro-level tone and feel without the boutique price tag.
Torrefied Top, Seasoned Tone
The magic starts with the top wood. This isn’t just any spruce; it’s torrefied spruce. Taylor’s special roasting process ages the wood, giving it the warm, deep, and responsive character of a vintage guitar right out of the box. Paired with layered sapele back and sides, this Dreadnought body pumps out a huge, room-filling voice with a rich low end and that beautiful octave shimmer that defines the 12-string sound.
C-Class Bracing & ES2 Electronics
Under the hood, Taylor’s C-Class bracing provides the perfect balance of stability and resonance, allowing the top to vibrate freely for impressive volume and sustain. When it’s time to plug in, the onboard Expression System 2 electronics capture all that acoustic richness with stunning accuracy. The behind-the-saddle pickup design translates the guitar’s dynamic range perfectly, making it an incredible performer on stage or in the studio.
