Description

Step into the harmonious world of 12-string acoustics with the Taylor 756ce, a guitar that expertly marries tradition with modern innovation. This Grand Symphony body guitar, topped with a robust Lutz spruce, delivers a powerful tonal response reminiscent of vintage Adirondack spruce. The Indian rosewood back and sides complement this lush top, offering deep bass tones and sparkling highs, creating a balanced and resonant sound that’s perfect for any music style.

With a focus on craftsmanship, Taylor incorporates their unique Performance bracing pattern, enhancing the guitar’s projection and tonal clarity. The tropical mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard ensure smooth playability, while the Venetian cutaway provides easy access to upper frets, making it a versatile companion for both studio sessions and live performances.

What truly sets the 756ce apart is the Taylor Expression System 2 electronics. This advanced system, featuring three strategically placed sensors behind the saddle, captures the guitar’s natural voice with exceptional clarity and accuracy, whether you’re playing acoustically or plugged in. The ES2's intuitive controls allow you to fine-tune your sound, providing a seamless transition from stage to studio.

Aesthetic touches like non-figured koa binding and pale green abalone inlays add a touch of elegance, making the 756ce not only a joy to play but also to behold. Whether you’re a seasoned performer or a passionate hobbyist, this guitar promises to inspire and elevate your musical journey.
