Taylor Builder's Edition 652ce Grand Concert 12-String - Wild Honey Burst

Taylor's 652ce is a 12-string for a new generation of acoustic guitarist. This model's shimmering, octave-rich tone benefits from maple's clarity and focus, offering an expressive, easily-recorded sound that will inspire players to expand their sonic palette. It goes through a roasting process which draws a more aged-in, sweetened response from the torrefied spruce top, and the 12-fret setup brings the bridge closer to the center of the lower bout for stronger midrange presence and a slinkier, more relaxed feel for your fretting hand.

Comes in a deluxe Western Floral hardshell case.

• Grand Concert Shapes - A smaller-bodied guitar ideally suited for fingerstyle.
• Sitka Spruce Top Woods - The soundboard choice for most guitars, Sitka spruce produces a broad dynamic range and accommodates a versatile range of playing styles.
• Maple Body Woods - Revoiced to produce greater warmth, complexity, volume, sustain and responsiveness.
• The Expression System 2 captures more of a guitar's dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.
• Beveled Cutaway - A smooth, double-contoured cutaway provides easy access to even the highest frets without changing hand positions.
• V-Class Bracing - A revolutionary design that balances the flexibility and stability of the top, V-Class bracing produces unmatched sustain, volume, and intonation.
