The Taylor 562ce with V-Class Bracing is a 12-string acoustic-electric guitar that redefines what you expect from a 12-string instrument. Designed with fingerstyle players in mind, its Grand Concert body shape and all-mahogany construction offer a warm, concentrated midrange and smooth top end, perfect for both intricate fingerpicking and easy strumming. The smaller body size and V-Class bracing enhance clarity and sustain while eliminating the boomy low-end typically associated with larger 12-string guitars. With a 12-fret neck joint and a shorter 24-7/8" scale length, this guitar promises a slinky, comfortable playing experience.

The 562ce’s performance is amplified by Taylor’s renowned Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics, which capture the guitar’s natural voice with breathtaking accuracy. The ES2 system, strategically positioned behind the saddle, ensures a complete, non-compressed tonal profile, making it ideal for studio recordings and live performances alike. The master Volume, Treble, and Bass controls allow for easy tone shaping, ensuring you get the sound just right whether you're plugged in or playing acoustically.

Finished with an ebony fingerboard and featuring a stunning inlaid Torch on the headstock, the Taylor 562ce is not only a joy to play but also a visual masterpiece. It's a guitar that invites you to explore its rich sonic palette while ensuring you look and sound your best on stage.
