Building upon the original 12-string in Taylor's 300 series, the Taylor 355ce 12-string acoustic-electric guitar tacks on a few extra accoutrements for some added flexibility in both playing and aesthetics. Of course, the 355ce sports a smooth Venetian cutaway, as notated by the c in the instrument's name, and onboard electronics, indicated by the e. The 355ce's jumbo body, resonant sound, and design similar to that of the Leo Kottke signature model make it an excellent guitar for fingerpicking.
