The Taylor 454ce 12-String brings the unmistakable shimmer of a great 12-string into Taylor’s next generation of acoustic design. Built with a solid Sitka spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides, it delivers the expansive, harmonically rich voice players seek from a premium 12-string, with sparkling trebles, warm lows, and a lush overtone character that fills the room with ease. In the Grand Auditorium body shape, that signature chorus-like texture arrives with balance, comfort, and versatility suited to a wide range of styles.
Taylor’s V-Class bracing gives the 454ce added projection, longer sustain, and impressive pitch focus, helping every octave pair ring with clarity rather than blur together. The result is a fuller, more articulate response that keeps complex chords defined and melodic lines singing. Paired with the Action Control Neck, this model also reflects Taylor’s newest approach to playability, allowing easy string height adjustment while adding warmth and depth through its long-tenon neck design.
The new Claria pickup system makes the 454ce equally ready for stage and studio use, capturing the guitar’s natural shimmer and body resonance with a clear, dependable amplified voice. Discreet soundhole-mounted controls keep adjustments simple and musical, with Volume for output level, Mid-Contour for shaping presence or scooping the mids for a more open strumming sound, and Tone for dialing in brightness and top-end detail. Whether plugged into a live rig, acoustic amp, or recording setup, the system is designed to deliver a natural voice with the flexibility to suit the room. Combined with refined appointments and a deluxe hardshell case, this is a 12-string built for modern musicians who want classic sparkle with meaningful innovation. Available at Haggerty’s Music.
