Taylor 250ce Plus Doce Doble 12-String Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Black

Some 12-string guitars create shimmer; the Taylor 250ce Plus Doce Doble 12-string dreadnought acoustic-electric guitar adds power, punch and rhythmic authority. Part of Taylor's Somos Collection, this Latin-inspired 12-string pairs a unison-strung setup with a torrefied Sitka spruce top, layered big leaf maple back and sides, and a bold gloss black finish. Its dreadnought body gives chords strong projection and low-end presence, while the paired unison strings produce a tighter, more direct attack than a traditional octave-strung 12-string. With Taylor Expression System 2 electronics, a comfortable neo-tropical mahogany neck and premium stage-ready appointments, the 250ce Plus Doce Doble is built for players who want the richness of a 12-string with the clarity, drive and visual impact to stand out in performance.

Torrefied Spruce Delivers Seasoned 12-String Response

The 250ce Plus Doce Doble starts with a torrefied Sitka spruce top, giving the guitar a warmer, more open character from the first strum. Paired with layered big leaf maple back and sides, the top produces a voice that balances projection, clarity and crisp articulation. That combination works especially well with the guitar's 12-string layout, helping chords retain definition while still delivering the harmonic richness players expect from a double-course instrument. The dreadnought body adds volume and low-end strength, making the guitar well suited for bold rhythm parts, full open chords and layered acoustic arrangements.

Unison Stringing Adds Punch and Rhythmic Focus

Unlike a traditional 12-string that pairs some strings in octaves, the Doce Doble design uses unison stringing for a more focused, percussive response. This gives the guitar its own distinctive voice, combining the doubled-string fullness of a 12-string with a tighter attack that supports rhythmic styles such as Norteño, Tejano and other Latin-inspired music. The result is a sound with shimmer and width, but also strong note definition and drive. For players who want expanded texture without excessive jangle, the 250ce Plus Doce Doble offers a powerful alternative to a conventional 12-string acoustic-electric.

Comfortable Neck Supports Confident 12-String Playing

Taylor's player-focused neck design helps make the 250ce Plus Doce Doble approachable despite its expanded 12-string format. The neo-tropical mahogany neck features Taylor's standard profile, providing a familiar feel for chord work, rhythmic strumming and melodic passages. A 1.875" nut width gives the doubled string courses room to speak clearly, while the 25.5" scale length supports balanced tension across all 12 strings. The genuine West African ebony fingerboard provides a smooth, durable playing surface that feels refined under the hand, helping players move comfortably through open chords, barre shapes and more intricate voicings.

ES2 Electronics Capture Natural Acoustic Character

Taylor Expression System 2 electronics make the 250ce Plus Doce Doble ready for stage, studio and amplified acoustic performance. The behind-the-saddle pickup design uses three calibrated sensors to capture the guitar's dynamic response while preserving the clarity and energy of its unison-strung voice. Onboard volume, bass and treble controls provide practical tone shaping when connected to a PA, acoustic amplifier or recording interface. Whether supporting a full band, leading a rhythm-driven arrangement or adding texture in the studio, the ES2 system helps translate the guitar's acoustic character with clear, responsive amplified sound.

A Bold 12-String Built for Modern Expression

The 250ce Plus Doce Doble combines Taylor's modern acoustic design with a distinctive voice rooted in Latin-inspired 12-string tradition. Satin black mini tuners, a Micarta saddle, NuBone nut, pearloid pickguard, white binding, Italian acrylic rosette and gloss black finish give the guitar a striking visual identity, while the included Taylor AeroCase provides lightweight protection for transport and storage. Built for players seeking power, clarity and expanded chordal texture, the Taylor 250ce Plus Doce Doble 12-string dreadnought acoustic-electric guitar delivers a fresh, performance-ready take on the 12-string acoustic-electric.
