The Taylor Next Generation 454ce 12-String brings a fresh evolution to one of Taylor’s most beloved formats, combining the signature shimmer of a 12-string with thoughtful modern upgrades from the Next Generation series. Built around the versatile Grand Auditorium body, it offers a comfortable feel with a voice that’s balanced, expansive, and full of dimension. Visually, it carries that unmistakable Taylor elegance—clean lines, refined appointments, and a timeless aesthetic that feels right at home on any stage.

At its core, the pairing of Sitka spruce and Indian rosewood delivers the rich, harmonically layered tone that 12-strings are known for, with sparkling highs, warm lows, and a lush overtone bloom. V-Class bracing enhances sustain and projection while keeping notes clear and in tune across the neck, giving the guitar a more focused and powerful voice. The result is a 12-string that feels controlled and articulate, whether you’re strumming wide-open chords or picking out intricate passages.

The Next Generation upgrades truly set this model apart, with Taylor’s Action Control Neck offering an easy-playing feel and simple, precise adjustability that keeps the setup dialed in without hassle. Paired with the new Claria System electronics, it delivers a natural, consistent amplified tone that translates beautifully in both live and studio settings. It’s a forward-thinking take on a classic Taylor 12-string—refined, reliable, and inspiring—available now at Haggerty’s Music.
