Taylor Next Generation 454ce - Natural - Free Shipping
**Please Read Our Shop Policies
Crafted to deliver shimmering, harmonically complex 12-string textures, the 454ce features a solid-wood Grand Auditorium body and two next-generation design innovations that enhance playability and live performance utility. The beloved tonewood pairing of Indian rosewood and Sitka spruce produces a clear, balanced, octave-rich voice with pristine trebles, warm lows and a lush overtone profile that beautifully complements the signature sparkle of the 12-string configuration. A slender, easy-playing Action Control Neck—new to this model—allows for quick, easy string height adjustments and boosts low-end resonance thanks to its long-tenon design. Under the hood, V-Class bracing enhances projection, sustain and pitch accuracy, contributing to a robust voice that suits virtually any playing style or genre.
New onboard Claria System electronics deliver predictable, stage- and studio-ready tone that’s easy to dial in for players and sound engineers alike. The 454ce sports a full-body gloss finish, new Weathervane inlays in Italian acrylic, black body binding with black and white top trim, nickel tuning machines, and a firestripe pickguard.
