From Our Research Team:

This 12-string Sounds Great and Looks Amazing!

When you're looking for a special guitar with a time-tested tone and exquisite craftsmanship, you can always trust in Taylor. The Taylor 654ce has the balanced response you can expect from any 600 series acoustic, with the evenly contoured overtones of big leaf maple sides and a Sitka spruce top that brings out the best in a harmonically rich 12-string sound. With a high-gloss finish over the naturally expressive grain of its spruce top, the 654ce is a beautiful-sounding guitar with looks to match. Whether you're looking for a 12-string for recording or for live performance, the elegantly expressive sound of the 654ce will add a vibrant shine to your music that really fills out your sound.

As with all Taylor CE models, the 654ce comes standard with the Taylor Expression System, which gives you a powerful sound and a stunning, stage-ready tone. Add to that the already-expressive projection of a big leaf maple back and sides, Taylor's X-braced Grand Auditorium body, and a brilliant Sitka spruce top, and you've got a bright and colorful tone with warm overtones for incredible dimension. Plus, the narrow waist and sleek body style make the 654ce sit closer to your body, so it's incredibly comfortable to play. And its naturally responsive acoustics, along with Taylor's Expression System, make the 654ce particularly great if you're a finger stylist or someone who plays with a lighter touch.
