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 rosewood 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 projectionTaylor'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.
Taylor's Expression System 2 delivers incredibly natural sound with full dynamicsIf you play plugged in, then you're going to love the Taylor Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics built into your 456ce acoustic guitar. The key to this fantastic system is the 3-section proprietary pickup located behind the saddle. Because of where it's positioned and how it's integrated into the 456ce's saddle, the ES2 pickup provides you with remarkably clear and accurate sound. In addition to a master volume control, a pair of tone controls let you tweak your highs and lows to get the sound you need, and a discreet phase switch offers vital onboard feedback suppression. We were more than impressed when Taylor came to Sweetwater to show us what this system can do, and we think you will be too.
