Overview

Taylor quality and playability that you™ll feel.

You won™t forget the sound of the Taylor 656ce Maple/Spruce Grand Symphony 12-String Acoustic-Electric Guitar. It's full, lush and clear with Taylor' signature 12-string playability.

Big Leaf Maple/Stika Spruce
The 656ce Maple Grand Symphony 12-String Acoustic-Electric is constructed of big leaf maple back and sides with a Western Sitka spruce top so it has a crisp, bright tone that cuts through on stage.

Grand Symphony (GS)
Though you might see similarities to a Grand Auditorium, the GS body of the 656ce is unique in both sound and shape. Significant changes in its geometry yield a deeper, more piano-like bass. A wider lower bout and higher, wider waist return ample volume and low-end sustain, in symphony with fuller mids and balanced highs.

Expression System
Using proprietary pickup technology developed at Taylor, the Expression System amplifies your guitar with a natural live sound. Onboard tone controls provide added flavor, or set flat for an uncolored, exceptionally-clean amplified sound. It' your tone, amplified.
