Description
Designed to deliver lush harmonically complex 12-string textures with modern playability the Taylor 454ce Next Generation blends a classic tonewood pairing with forward-thinking construction refinements. A solid Indian rosewood back and sides paired with a Sitka spruce top produce a clear balanced voice with shimmering octave detail warm low-end support and a dense overtone profile that complements the natural sparkle of a 12-string format. The Grand Auditorium body shape ensures a comfortable feel while providing enough power and projection for both solo performance and ensemble work. Internally Taylors V-Class bracing enhances volume sustain and harmonic alignment helping octave pairs ring cleanly and remain in tune across the fretboard. The Action Control Neck allows fast accurate setup adjustments while improving resonance through its long-tenon joint design. Claria electronics provide dependable amplified tone with intuitive soundhole-mounted controls while refined appointments such as Weathervane inlays black binding a firestripe pickguard and a full gloss finish complete a 12-string built for expressive performance on stage or in the studio.
