Description
The Taylor 454ce Grand Auditorium 12-String is a perfect choice for players chasing that full, shimmering 12-string sound with a premium feel. It's ideal for gigging musicians and serious home players who want rich, textured tones without losing clarity. Taylor's Grand Auditorium shape makes it super versatile, and with Indian rosewood back and sides plus a Sitka spruce top, you're getting a really balanced sound that's deep, bright, and full of blooming overtones.
This model is built with Taylor's V-Class bracing, which is a big deal if you're after more volume, better sustain, and spot-on tuning all the way up the neck. You also get their ES2 electronics system, so it sounds just as clean and natural when plugged in as it does sitting on your couch. The detailing is sharp too; there's a real ebony fretboard with Finial inlays, a faux-tortoiseshell pickguard, white binding, and a beautiful agoya shell rosette that really pops under stage lights.
The 454ce feels just right in your hands; it's got Taylor's usual smooth neck and low action, making it comfortable for both heavy strumming and fingerpicking. Plus, being a Taylor, you know the tuning stability and build quality are rock solid. We're really confident this is one of those guitars that will deliver consistently whether you're recording, gigging, or just playing for yourself. And it comes with a deluxe hardshell case to keep it protected wherever you take it.
