Unleash lush octave textures, elegant style and superior playability with the Taylor 454ce-R 12-String Grand Auditorium — available now at Haggerty’s Music. This beautifully crafted 12-string acoustic-electric features a striking tobacco sunburst Sitka spruce top paired with Indian rosewood back and sides, offering a rich tonal palette full of shimmering trebles, deep lows, and a lush overtone complexity that perfectly complements the natural sparkle of a 12-string voice.

Enhanced by Taylor’s innovative V-Class bracing, the 454ce-R delivers greater volume, longer sustain, and improved intonation, making it equally suited for solo performance, studio work, or ensemble playing. The Grand Auditorium body shape provides a balanced and versatile tone while maintaining a comfortable, player-friendly feel. A slender neo-tropical mahogany neck with a West African Crelicam ebony fingerboard ensures smooth, effortless fretting, even across twelve strings. Elegant appointments like white body binding, a green abalone rosette, Finial faux pearl inlays, and a tortoise pickguard add to its refined aesthetic. Equipped with Taylor’s ES2 electronics for outstanding plugged-in tone and protected by a deluxe hardshell case, the 454ce-R is a 12-string built to inspire.
