The Taylor 2017 150e 12-String Electro Acoustic Guitar delivers superior quality and enriched tone without compromise. This gorgeous 12-string includes all the customary appointments you'd expect to see on a Taylor, with some fine touches that make this guitar truly unique. The Taylor 150e is built to the dreadnought body shape, giving it a solid mid to low-end power. The back and sides of the body are crafted from walnut, delivering a rich mid-range and subtle lows.
Crafted to last a lifetime
The laminate responds well to changes in temperature and humidity, making it very useful for those who like their guitar to travel with them wherever they go. The top is made from Sitka spruce - a favourite of Taylor's -, which has excellent resonant qualities. This allows it to project a loud sound with the utmost clarity. The top is reinforced by Taylor's 100 Series 12-string bracing, giving it more than adequate support whilst also allowing it to resonate fully.
Expression 2 pickup system
For times when you are playing to a large crowd and need a bit more power, the 150e is fitted with Taylor's awesome Expression System 2. The all-magnetic acoustic guitar pickup system amplifies the natural sound of the 150e, without adding colouration or distortion to the signal. Three simple controls make it very easy to adjust your tone on the go - volume, bass and treble. The neck is made using sapele, which is married to a luxurious ebony fretboard. This neck/fingerboard combination offers a warm response to the crisp brightness of the 12 strings, allowing each and every note to ring out with clear articulation.
The finishing appointments across the guitar lend themselves beautifully to the stylish aesthetic and solid functionality of the 150e. The Tusq nut and saddle guarantee that string spacing is upheld perfectly, whilst the sustain produced by the strings is maintained beautifully. Die-cast chrome mini tuning machines retain tuning integrity with absolute precision. A decorative three-ring rosette surrounds the soundhole and a black pickguard protects the body below the soundhole from unwanted picks and scrapes.
The Taylor 2017 150e is an excellent 12-string that offers shimmering notes with a sparkling complexity. If you're looking for a guitar that sounds amazing, looks gorgeous and travels well, then this is the perfect guitar for you.
