Taylor 456ce 12-string Acoustic-electric Guitar at a Glance:

• Choice tonewoods - Sitka spruce and ovangkol
  
• Grand Symphony body style gives you balanced sound and incredible projection
  
• Renowned Taylor Expression System electronics

Choice tonewoods - Sitka spruce and ovangkol
The 456ce, is a prime example of the high-quality tonewoods Taylor selects for their guitars. It features time-proven Sitka spruce as its top, which gives you wonderful projection with the perfect amount of sparkle. The 456ce's ovangkol back and sides also give it an intensely vibrant quality that's similar to rosewood, but with a unique character all of its own.

Grand Symphony body style gives you balanced sound and incredible projection
Taylor's Grand Symphony body style, featured on the 456ce, is a more modern take on the sleek Grand Auditorium shape, but with the waist moved up toward the neck. This gives the 456ce a slightly larger lower bout, giving you an excellent blend of power and projection, without losing the high-end definition of the Grand Auditorium body style.

Renowned Taylor Expression System electronics
Designed to faithfully reproduce your guitar's native tone, the Taylor 456ce's Expression System uses patented Dynamic Sensors to capture both top and string vibration with incredible detail. The Taylor ES system was created in partnership with renowned audio pioneer Rupert Neve. Unlike standard onboard electronics, the Taylor Expression System is seamlessly integrated into the design of the 456ce from the ground up. Onboard tone controls provide added flavor, or can be set flat for an uncolored, exceptionally clean amplified sound.
