If you’ve been searching for a richly expressive 12-string acoustic with powerful tone and stage-ready performance, the Taylor 454ce offers an ideal blend of clarity, volume, and shimmering octave texture — available now at Haggerty’s Music. Crafted with a solid Sitka spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides, this Grand Auditorium 12-string projects with bold presence and lush, overtone-rich harmonics. The spruce top delivers dynamic range and sparkling highs, while the rosewood body deepens the tonal spectrum with warmth and sustain.

Taylor’s V-Class bracing architecture enhances the instrument’s natural resonance, allowing for more volume and sustain, while tightening pitch accuracy across the fingerboard. The Venetian cutaway grants easy access to upper frets, and the neo-tropical mahogany neck is paired with a West African Crelicam ebony fretboard, shaped with Taylor’s standard carve for a familiar, comfortable feel. Visually, the guitar shines with Finial fretboard and peghead inlays, a green abalone rosette, white body binding, and a gloss-finished body that highlights the natural wood grain. Outfitted with Taylor’s Expression System 2 for authentic amplified tone, the 454ce includes a Taylor deluxe hardshell case for protection and transport.
