The Taylor 552ce 12-string features Urban Ironbark back and sides paired with a torrefied Sitka spruce top. The lap-friendly Grand Concert body is a welcome antidote to the bigger body styles traditionally used for 12-strings; the result is more physically accessible option, especially with the 12-fret neck and slightly condensed 24-7/8-inch scale length. The smaller body makes it easy to set the strings in motion, and sonically, the controlled acoustic voice won’t overpower a mix, making it a wonderful choice for adding 12-string texture to a recording or accompanying other instruments live.

Taylor continues to search for guitar tone woods that don’t require depleting the world’s tropical forests. The back & sides of these 500 Series models are from trees commonly called red ironbark, and it’s hard, tough stuff that sounds great. These are often really big trees, leafy evergreens that were widely planted decades ago because they’re drought resistant but offer lots of shade. But urban trees can get TOO big, and those are what Taylor harvests.
