Taylor 552ce X-Class 12-Fret, 12-String Grand Concert Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Natural - 2016


Here’s a superb Taylor 552ce Acoustic-Electric 12-fret, 12-string guitar featuring all solid tone woods, understated beauty, and brilliant tone and playability. It’s extremely lightweight and comfortable to play. It’s in excellent condition with no signs of play wear. Includes original “Pink Pooch” hardshell case and all shop paperwork. The tuner buttons have been upgraded to ebony units, and I'll also include the original chrome buttons in the case.


With a 24 7/8" (24.875") scale length and 12 frets to the body, this is the easiest-to-play 12-string I've ever picked up. The 12-fret configuration delivers extra midrange punch while creating a more relaxed, slinky hand feel, adding up to a supremely comfortable feel for players of all styles. Unlike traditional 12-strings, the Grand Concert body is comfortable even during long sessions. That said, this guitar is loud, and the top strings deliver classic 12-string shimmer. The Western Red Cedar top is incredibly responsive, whether you’re playing finger style or digging in with a pick. The Tropical Mahogany sides offer a woody punch. Together, this combination yields power and clarity in equal measure, offering a dialed-up version of the lush, complex overtones and absolutely pristine trebles that players love.
