Taylor 355ce 12-String - USA 2011

Here is a Taylor 355ce 12-string acoustic-electric, a highly playable and modern jumbo-bodied instrument designed to deliver rich 12-string shimmer with outstanding comfort, stability, and clarity. It reflects Taylor’s reputation for making some of the most accessible and reliable 12-strings on the market.

This example features a solid Sitka spruce top paired with sapele back and sides, producing a bright, articulate tone with strong projection, crisp high-end shimmer, and a focused low end. The jumbo body shape enhances overall volume and resonance, making it ideal for powerful strumming and wide stereo-like chord voicings.

This example features Taylor’s Expression System pickup for natural amplified tone and stage-ready clarity, along with a Venetian cutaway for easy upper-fret access. It is fitted with a Bob Colosi ivory saddle upgrade, which enhances warmth and harmonic depth, while the original saddle is also included.

Playability is a standout feature, with Taylor’s slim, comfortable neck profile and excellent tuning stability making it equally suitable for six-string players transitioning to 12-string or experienced 12-string performers. The guitar feels smooth and responsive across the entire fingerboard.

Condition is near-new with minimal signs of use and presents in excellent overall shape. All components are original aside from the upgraded saddle, which remains fully reversible. A powerful yet highly playable Taylor 12-string that combines modern reliability with rich, sparkling acoustic tone. Comes with its original hard case.
