Taylor 652ce Builder’s Edition 12-String Acoustic-Electric Guitar

This Used 2022 Taylor 652ce Builder’s Edition is a masterfully crafted 12-string acoustic-electric guitar designed for players who demand richness, clarity, and exceptional comfort. Its torrefied Sitka spruce top and figured Big Leaf maple back and sides deliver shimmering articulation with a warm, seasoned response. A short 24 ⅞″ scale and reverse-strung setup provide a fuller, more controlled 12-string voice, while the beveled armrest, chamfered edges, and Silent Satin finish make long sessions effortless.

Equipped with Taylor’s acclaimed Expression System 2 electronics, the 652ce translates its natural acoustic detail beautifully on stage or in the studio. Premium Gotoh 510 tuners, an ebony fretboard, and a sleek Grand Concert body complete an instrument built for both expressive performance and refined comfort.

Condition:

Guitar is very clean with minimal fret and play wear.
