Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: This instrument has been carefully inspected and, if necessary, serviced by our certified luthier to ensure it is in excellent playing condition. 

The 2017 Taylor 552ce 12-string is a beautifully voiced instrument that delivers shimmering detail and rich, layered resonance. Its compact body size offers a comfortable, intimate feel, while still producing a full, articulate sound with sparkling highs and a warm, balanced low end. The ebony fingerboard and tropical mahogany neck provide a smooth, effortless playing experience, making extended sessions a joy. Equipped with Taylor’s Expression System 2, it translates its natural voice with clarity and depth when amplified. Elegant, responsive, and thoughtfully crafted, this 12-string is an inspiring musical companion for many years to come. 

Players who find the traditionally bigger size of a 12-string body unwieldy will love the playing comfort of the 552ce 12-Fret. Not only does it feature a compact Grand Concert body, but the 24-7/8-inch scale length together with the 12-fret neck give players a slinky handfeel that make these among the most playable 12-strings Taylor has ever offered. The smaller body produces a wonderful focus and articulation that will sit well in an instrument mix, while the cedar top paired with mahogany back and sides imparts natural warmth that responds well to fingerstylists and other players with a light touch. Taylor’s Performance bracing is optimized to boost the power and projection evenly across the tonal spectrum. Additional features include a Venetian cutaway and Taylor Expression System 2 electronics.
