From Our Research Team:

This 12-string Delivers Fantastic Taylor Tone!

Taylor's 656ce 12-string acoustic-electric guitar provides you with sparkling tonewoods, 12-string shimmer, and amazing onboard electronics. With a 656ce, you get a gorgeous solid Sitka spruce top and a back and sides made of beautiful Big Leaf maple. Even unplugged, the 656ce gives you a bright any chiming tone, and thanks to its onboard Taylor Expression System electronics, it also sounds fantastic when you plug in. Its Grand Symphony body style also provides you with both an excellent tonal balance and powerful projection. No matter your style, you're going to love playing a Taylor 656ce 12-string acoustic guitar!



Taylor 656ce 12-string Acoustic-electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • Choice tonewoods - Sitka spruce meets Big Leaf maple
  • Grand Symphony body style gives you balanced sound and incredible projection
  • Renowned Taylor Expression System electronics

Choice tonewoods - Sitka spruce meets Big Leaf maple
The 656ce, 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, and the 656ce's Big Leaf maple back and sides give it an extra bright and snappy tone.

Grand Symphony body style gives you balanced sound and incredible projection
Taylor's Grand Symphony body style, featured on the 656ce, is a more modern take on the sleek Grand Auditorium shape, but with the waist moved up toward the neck. This gives the 656ce 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 656ce'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 656ce from the ground up. Onboard tone controls provide added flavor, or can be set flat for an uncolored, exceptionally clean amplified sound.

Taylor 656ce 12-string Acoustic-electric Guitar Features:
  • An extra-bright 12-string acoustic-electric guitar that's great for a wide range of playing styles
  • Grand Symphony body style gives you a balanced tone with extra punch and exceptional projection
  • Sitka spruce top provides a light and expressive sound
  • Maple back and sides add chiming brightness to your sound
  • Onboard Taylor Expression System electronics give you natural sound even when plugged in live
  • Hardshell case included

If you're looking for a bright and expressive 12-string acoustic-electric guitar, then the Taylor 656ce is perfect for you!

Everything was exactly as promised. I was impressed with the phone call I received from your guy when I had just placed the order. He was very thorough and professional in every way. I love my new digital piano. Your wide selection and excellent service as well as your "3 Payment Plan" and the 2 year warranty sealed the deal for me on this purchase. No one else could come close.
