Product Description

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.

Grand Concert Shape
A smaller-bodied guitar ideally suited for fingerstyle.

Expression System 2 Electronic
The Expression System 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.

Western Red Cedar Top Wood
A true performer for those with a lighter touch, cedar tops yield extra warmth and pair nicely with mahogany and rosewood.

Venetian Cutaway Cutaway
The Venetian cutaway is known for its soft, round lines. The sloping peak of the cutaway will vary depending on the shape of the guitar.

Tropical Mahogany Body Wood
A midrange powerhouse. Mahogany is prized for balance and articulation, making it one of the best all-around tonewoods there is.
