Taylor 454CE Ovangkol 12-String Grand Auditorium
With clarity, brilliance, and warmth in a medium-bodied package, this Grand Auditorium 12 string guitar has power and finesse, in a more intimate size. The quick, articulate response of Sitka spruce is combined with the warmth and sparkle of ovangkol, giving this Taylor acoustic electric an expressive and pleasing tone.
The 454CE Grand Auditorium combines the width and depth of a dreadnought with a narrower waist. Its sleek design yields a strong treble zing across the tonal spectrum and sharpens the definition of individual notes.
The finish used to create this guitar's textured satin back and sides and lustrous gloss top was developed at Taylor for maximum durability and resistance to cold-checking. This ultraviolet-cured finish is also more environmentally friendly than traditional lacquer finishes.
Designed to faithfully reproduce your Taylor guitar's native tone, the Expression System utilizes patented Dynamic Sensors to capture top and string vibration like never before. Created in partnership with renowned audio pioneer Mr. Rupert Neve, the Taylor ES is seamlessly integrated into the design of the guitar from the ground up. Onboard tone controls provide added flavor, or can be set flat for an uncolored, exceptionally clean amplified sound.
