Taylor Builders Edition 652ce, 12-String Steel String Guitar with Pickup@+The Grand Concert Builders Edition 12-String is suitable for fingerstyle and strumming. The 652ce Builders Edition features Taylor V-Class bracing, which results in higher volume, longer sustain and improved intonation; the guitar's maple back and sides lend it a powerful, transparent sound. The torrified (heat-treated) Sitka spruce top, together with the short scale, ensures excellent dynamics. The rounded contours, arm rest and bevelled cutaway allow playing comfortably up to the highest positions. The satin finish also reduces noise that can be caused by rubbing against the body. Taylor's own active ES2 dynamic piezo system with bass, treble and volume controls is used as the pickup.@+@+, Build: Grand Concert with Bevelled Cutaway, Top: Solid torrefied Sitka spruce, V-Class Bracing, Back and sides: Solid maple, Neck: Mahogany, Fretboard: Ebony, Scepter fretboard inlays, Ebony armrest, 18 Frets, Scale: 632 mm (24 7/8""), Nut width: 47.60 mm (1 7/8""), Black Graphite nut, Pickup: Taylor Expression System 2, Micarta bridge, Gold-plated Gotoh 510 machine heads, Finish: Frosted, Colour: Natural, Includes Taylor Deluxe Hardshell Brown case, Made in USA@+*Note:* Register your Taylor guitar to extend your warranty to 12 years.@+@+
