A great 12-string should do more than simply double the notes; it should open the door to new textures, new ideas, and new musical possibilities. Available now at Haggerty’s Music, this used Taylor 552ce embodies that philosophy with a design that blends traditional 12-string shimmer with the comfort and responsiveness of Taylor’s Grand Concert body. Its compact dimensions make it remarkably inviting to play, while its 12-fret neck design enhances warmth, projection, and midrange presence, creating a voice that feels both intimate and expansive.

At the heart of the 552ce is a beautifully matched combination of a torrefied spruce top and solid Urban Ironbark back and sides. The roasted top delivers the mature, broken-in character of a well-played vintage instrument, while Urban Ironbark contributes rich overtones, strong note definition, and piano-like clarity. Together with Taylor’s innovative V-Class bracing, these tonewoods produce exceptional sustain, impressive volume, and outstanding harmonic balance. The result is a 12-string that retains all the sparkle and chorus-like richness players expect while offering remarkable articulation and dynamic control.

The Grand Concert body shape and 24-7/8" scale length make this guitar exceptionally comfortable for long playing sessions, while the Expression System 2 electronics ensure its natural acoustic character translates beautifully on stage or in the studio. Finished in an elegant Shaded Edge Burst and housed in its original Taylor Deluxe hardshell case, this 2024-built 552ce represents a sophisticated take on the modern 12-string acoustic: Equally suited for fingerstyle arrangements, lush accompaniment, and inspiring songwriting sessions.
