Product Description

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.

The Lowdown

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

Think of it like a guitar that already has years of playing time built in. The torrefaction process roasts the spruce, making it lighter, stiffer, and more resonant. This gives you the warm, complex, and responsive tone of a vintage instrument from day one.
Traditionally, they can be. But Taylor solved this by putting their famously comfortable, slender neck profile on the 150ce. While you do have to press down two strings at once, the neck shape and expert setup make it one of the easiest-playing 12-strings you’ll ever pick up.
Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.
This guitar is covered by our 14-Day Return Policy. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.
Orders ship same day in most cases and arrive within 1-4 business days with free, insured shipping. We’ll get it into your hands as quickly as we can.
Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.
