Taylor 657ce Doce Doble 12-String Grand Pacific Acoustic-Electric Guitar Black

The Taylor 657ce Grand Pacific Doce Doble is a compelling 12-string acoustic-electric guitar for players looking to expand their arsenal with a unique instrument. Featuring a unison, double 12-string layout, the Doce Doble is perfectly voiced for Latin genres and Mexican folk music, sporting a specially reinforced bridge that withstands the extra strings' tension. Designed by Master Builder Andy Powers, the Taylor 657ce Doce Doble produces outstanding low-end power and overall tonal breadth that's inspiring to play and remarkable to hear.

The Grand Pacific Body Resonates With Warmth

Premium Tonewoods Sing

The all-solid wood construction of the 657ce Grand Pacific Doce Doble allows it to sing with a charming voice. Its maple back and sides provide clarity and focus to each note, and the wood has been carefully treated and retuned to provide more low-end presence than is typically found in maple. The solid Sitka spruce top is a classic tonewood revered for its musicality, dynamic range and balanced overtones. Together, these carefully selected appointments produce notes that bloom with shimmering overtones and project with ringing sustain.

Innovative Bracing Enhances the Acoustic Experience

Patented Taylor V-Class bracing enhances the 657ce Doce Doble's volume, sustain, and intonation. The asymmetric bracing design frees the spruce top to vibrate with increased flexibility and resonance. You'll notice notes that blossom and decay with density and richness, as well as a "wider" tone that fills the room. Innovative V-Class bracing also provides a sturdy framework for the 12-string configuration, resulting in a guitar with an impressively bold voice and consistent harmonic quality across the entire fretboard. Chords ring evenly, and single-note melodies jump from the strings with superior projection.
