Experience the Powerful Sound and Feel of a Taylor 12-String!
The one thing that all acoustic guitarists have in common, whether they are a beginner or experienced professional, is that once they pick up a Taylor, it's the beginning of a life-long love affair. Even the occasional player finds themselves devoting more and more time to playing their new Taylor. In fact, one such part time player, a lawyer, wrote a letter to Taylor stating that he was spending more time playing his new Taylor and less time on his law practice. The Taylor 354ce Grand Auditorium with the Expression System is a great introduction to premium-quality, American-made, solid wood guitars.

Taylor Guitar 354ce
Combining the best of both worlds, the medium-sized Taylor 354ce Grand Auditorium offers the powerful sound and feel of a true 12-string, in a more intimate body style. Solid African mahogany backs and sides and gloss-finished Sitka spruce tops provide a clear, balanced tone, while wood fiber binding, large pearl dot fretboard inlays, and chrome Taylor tuners streamline the look.

Taylor Guitar 354ce Wood
The warm tone and open midrange of African mahogany balances the bright and snappy characteristics of a Sitka spruce top. The resulting combination provides the perfect guitar for strong, rhythmic playing styles.

Taylor Guitar 354ce Body Type: Grand Auditorium
The Taylor 354ce Grand Auditorium combines the width and depth of a Dreadnought with a narrower waist. Its sleek Venetian cutaway design yields a strong treble zing across the tonal spectrum and sharpens the definition of individual notes. The Grand Auditorium is a strong fingerpicking guitar that also adapts well to
medium strumming.

Taylor Guitar 354ce Finish
The finish used to create this guitar's textured satin back and sides and lustrous gloss top was developed at Taylor for maximum durability and resistance to cold-checking. This ultra violet-cured finish is also more environmentally friendly than traditional lacquer finishes. Available in natural finish.
