Taylor 552ce Grand Concert 12-String Acoustic Guitar, Sitka Spruce/Urban Ironbark, Shaded Edgeburst
The Taylor 2022 552ce V-Class 12-Fret Grand Concert 12-string acoustic-electric guitar marries Taylor's heritage of crafting exceptional 12-strings, with cutting-edge innovations. Finished in Shaded Edgeburst, this 12-string wonder boasts a host of features that redefine what players can expect from a 12-string guitar. Taylor's V-Class bracing, a new design that enhances volume, sustain, and intonation is at the heart of what makes this specific guitar special. A double-mounted string anchoring system also allows for a consistently in-tune experience, and with an additional 6 strings, that means twice as much.
The 12-fret design of the Grand Concert body shape, in addition to its 24-7/8" scale length, offers easier fretting, making it a delight for players who seek comfort without compromising on tonal power. Adding a unique, distinctly Taylor character to its voicing with cedar and mahogany tonewood pairing, the 552ce produces a warm, broken-in tone with a nice, thick midrange in addition to its already shimmering 12-string characteristics.
Taylor's ES2 electronics allow the 552ce to excel in amplified performance, as well. The behind-the-saddle pickup system, in tandem with a custom-designed preamp, captures the guitar's nuanced tones and amplifies them accordingly. The active Expression System 2 which is powered with a 9v battery, offers simple controls for volume, and active bass and treble EQ options, allows the user to take charge when it comes to balancing.
Urban red ironbark eucalyptus is a tonewood known for its rosewood-esque sonic properties, and the 552ce hand-delivers a warm and clear projection that cuts just how you want it to. Faux tortoise binding, a single ring rosette, black/maple purfling, and aerial-style faux pearl fretboard inlays are all aesthetic highlights of the 552ce.
With a slim profile neck, a neck-to-body system and a Venetian cutaway to provide easy access to the upper register, playability of Taylor's 2022 552ce V-Class 12-Fret Grand Concert 12-string acoustic-electric guitar is just one more reason this guitar shines.
