Big, Bold 12-String Voice Without The Fight
If you picture an acoustic guitar in your head, you are probably seeing this shape. The 150ce is Taylor’s classic dreadnought body, now loaded with a torrefied solid spruce top and 12 shimmering strings that feel way friendlier than your average twelve.
Real talk: a lot of 12-strings are a chore to play. This one is different. Between the torrefied top, Taylor’s dialed-in neck joint, and a comfortable neck profile, the 150ce gives you huge, choir-like shimmer with the easy playability of a good 6-string.
Torrefied Solid Spruce Top With Classic Dreadnought Punch
The star of the show is that torrefied solid spruce top. Taylor carefully heat treats the spruce so it behaves like wood that has been opened up for years, with a sweeter high end, faster response, and a more relaxed, woody midrange.
On a full-size dreadnought, that means big low end, focused mids, and airy shimmer on top. Add 12 strings to the mix and you get a wall of chime that still has a strong fundamental, so your chords sound huge instead of hazy.
Layered Sapele Back And Sides Built For The Real World
The layered sapele mahogany back and sides are all about balance and durability. You get a warm, clear midrange that supports vocals without getting boomy, plus the kind of stability that handles travel, weather, and stage lights without drama.
The matte finish keeps the guitar feeling fast and broken in, and the black binding ties the whole look together. At around 5 pounds, it is light enough to wear all night and responsive enough to reward a light touch or a full-arm strum.
Taylor 12-String Neck That Actually Plays In Tune
The old joke about 12-strings being either out of tune or getting there does not really apply here. Taylor’s neck joint and 12-string design spread the extra tension in a smart way, so the guitar holds pitch and plays in tune all the way up the neck.
The comfortable neck profile feels familiar if you are used to modern acoustics, so you are not wrestling a baseball bat just to reach your chords. The Venetian cutaway gives you easy access to the upper register for ringing arpeggios and high melodic lines that really show off the extra strings.
Stage Ready With ES2 Electronics
When it is time to plug in, the Expression System 2 keeps the natural character of the guitar intact. You get the same bold dreadnought thump and 12-string shimmer, just scaled up for the PA or your favorite acoustic amp.
This makes the 150ce a killer choice for worship leaders, singer songwriters, and anyone layering acoustic textures in the studio. It is loud and lively unplugged, and it sits in a mix beautifully when amplified.
