Sound Pure's Take
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.
Boasting a broad Grand Symphony body shape with a Venetian cutaway, the Taylor 556ce acoustic-electric 12-string pairs a solid Lutz spruce top with solid tropical mahogany back and sides to deliver impressive volume, rich midrange warmth, and sparkling octave chime. A satin-finished tropical mahogany neck offers a fast, comfortable feel, topped with a premium ebony fingerboard and matching ebony headstock overlay outfitted with nickel Taylor tuners. Clean tortoise binding frames the glossy body, accenting the matching tortoise pickguard and ebony bridge anchored by ebony pins. Powered by Taylor's Expression System 2 electronics for transparent amplified plugged-in performance, this resonant 4 lb 8 oz 12-string includes a deluxe Taylor hardshell case.
