Premium Materials and Construction
The 652ce is crafted with the finest materials and Taylor's renowned attention to detail. The torrefied Sitka spruce top delivers a warm and balanced tone, while the figured big leaf maple back and sides add richness and complexity. The hard rock maple neck and ebony fingerboard provide a smooth and responsive playing experience. This Taylor 652ce Builder's Edition is a true testament to Taylor's commitment to quality.
Reverse-Strung for a Meatier Tone
The 652ce features a unique reverse-strung setup, where the fundamental strings are placed above the octave strings. This innovative design produces a "meatier" tone with a more prominent fundamental note, reducing the jangle often associated with 12-string guitars. The result is a clearer and more focused sound that's perfect for strumming and fingerstyle playing. This Taylor 652ce Builder's Edition 12-string guitar is a true innovator in the world of 12-string acoustics.
Electronics for Stage and Studio Use
The 652ce is equipped with Taylor's Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics, which capture the guitar's natural acoustic tone and dynamic response for amplified playing. Whether you're on stage or in the studio, the ES2 delivers a pristine and articulate sound that's faithful to the guitar's acoustic voice. This Taylor 652ce Builder's Edition 12-string guitar is ready for any performance.
V-Class Bracing for Optimal Response
Taylor's V-Class bracing is a revolutionary innovation that enhances the guitar's volume, sustain, and intonation. This unique bracing pattern creates a more harmonically rich and responsive instrument. With V-Class bracing, the 652ce sings with exceptional clarity and projection. This Taylor 652ce Builder's Edition is a true testament to Taylor's dedication to pushing the boundaries of acoustic guitar design.
Comfort and Playability Redefined
The 652ce is designed with the player in mind. The beveled armrest, beveled cutaway, and chamfered body edges provide exceptional comfort for hours of playing. The smooth hard rock maple neck and ebony fingerboard offer a familiar feel for electric guitar players, while the Curve Wing bridge with double-mounted string anchoring adds stability for complex chordal work.
