Taylor 354ce 12-String Acoustic-Electric Guitar – Grand Auditorium

Experience the lush, shimmering resonance of the Taylor 354ce 12-String Acoustic-Electric Guitar, a beautifully crafted instrument that showcases Taylor’s signature Grand Auditorium body. Designed for rich tone and exceptional playability, this model brings the jangle and depth of a 12-string to new heights, making it a perfect choice for musicians seeking clarity, balance, and power.

Premium Tonewoods for a Balanced Sound

Built with a solid Sitka spruce top and sapele back and sides, the 354ce delivers an articulate, dynamic response. Sitka spruce ensures brightness and projection, while sapele provides warmth and balance, similar to mahogany. This combination offers a full-spectrum tonal experience, whether you’re strumming or fingerpicking.

V-Class Bracing: More Volume, Sustain & Improved Intonation

Taylor’s groundbreaking V-Class bracing enhances the guitar’s tonal consistency, ensuring increased volume, sustain, and tuning stability. By reinforcing the top while allowing for flexibility in key areas, this innovative bracing system fosters a harmonically rich and cohesive sound—perfect for solo performances, studio recordings, and live gigs.

Grand Auditorium Body: Versatility at Its Finest

The Grand Auditorium shape strikes the perfect balance between comfort and projection. With its slightly narrower waist and full-range response, this body style suits fingerstyle players, singer-songwriters, and rhythm guitarists alike. Whether you're performing live or tracking in the studio, the 354ce ensures clear definition and a balanced mix of warmth and sparkle.

ES2 Electronics for Stage & Studio

Taylor’s Expression System 2 (ES2) provides a natural and dynamic amplified tone. Featuring a behind-the-saddle pickup with independent sensors, this system captures the guitar’s true acoustic character. With onboard Volume, Tone, and Phase controls, you can easily shape your sound for any performance environment.
