The Taylor 552ce Urban Ironbark 12-String is a distinctive acoustic-electric guitar geared toward musicians who love powerful and precise tones paired with classic stylings. Boasting a unique combination of tonewoods and a player-centric design, this Taylor has a one-of-a-kind sound and feel that'll make it an instant hit with all types of performers.
The 552ce's body is composed of Urban Ironbark, a dense and hard wood that projects a clear yet muscular sound with plenty of high-end sweetness. The soundboard consists of solid spruce, giving this model a bright, articulate sound with exceptional warmth and depth, no doubt due to the wood's torrefaction treatment. Pair the two woods together, and you have a winning combination that accentuates all the right frequencies.
For amplification, the 552ce sports an ES2 pickup system. This behind-the-saddle pickup has three individual sensors, allowing it to capture an incredible range of acoustic sound. When paired with the proprietary preamp, you get a splendid amplified tone that doesn't compromise woodiness or dynamics.
Other standout features that make this Taylor a dream to play include the Venetian Cutaway, satin-finished neo-tropical mahogany neck, and the West African crelicam ebony fingerboard.
The pinnacle of style and elegance, the 552ce Urban Ironbark 12-String has a gorgeous Tobacco finish, a tortoise pickguard, and nickel-plated tuners. For the savvy musician seeking a top-of-the-line 12-string guitar with a bold and commanding voice of its own, the Taylor 552ce is bound to leave a lasting impression.
