Taylor 455ce 12-String - USA 2011

The Taylor 455ce single-cutaway 12-string Jumbo acoustic-electric guitar delivers robust acoustic projection and a comfortable playing feel. When amplified, the onboard Taylor Expression System offers a remarkably natural reproduction of its rich acoustic tone.

This guitar boasts a solid spruce top paired with ovangkol back and sides, and features a smooth-playing mahogany neck capped with an elegant ebony fingerboard. Whether played unplugged or plugged in, the 455ce is designed to satisfy both acoustic purists and those who perform with amplification, making it a genuine performer's instrument.

This guitar has been well looked after and presents in fine condition for a 13-year-old instrument. The body and neck are clean and show no marks, scratches or dents and the electronics all work as they should. The original saddle has been replaced with a Bob Colosi ivory saddle which helps produce a lovely warm tone. The original saddle is included in the sale.

The playing experience is exceptional, with the shallow C profile neck, a medium-low action and tuners that hold nicely - you can strum away on this beauty for hours!

This is a wonderful Taylor 12-String in near-new condition that will certainly exceed your expectations.

Comes in its original Taylor HSC.
