Overview
Next Generation 454ce
Watch VideoCrafted to deliver shimmering, harmonically complex 12-string textures, the 454ce features a solid-wood Grand Auditorium body and two next-generation design innovations that enhance playability and live performance utility. The beloved tonewood pairing of Indian rosewood and Sitka spruce produces a clear, balanced, octave-rich voice with pristine trebles, warm lows and a lush overtone profile that beautifully complements the signature sparkle of the 12-string configuration. A slender, easy-playing Action Control Neck™—new to this model—allows for quick, easy string height adjustments and boosts low-end resonance thanks to its long-tenon design. Under the hood, V-Class® bracing enhances projection, sustain and pitch accuracy, contributing to a robust voice that suits virtually any playing style or genre.
New onboard Claria System electronics deliver predictable, stage- and studio-ready tone that’s easy to dial in for players and sound engineers alike. The 454ce sports a full-body gloss finish, new Weathervane inlays in Italian acrylic, black body binding with black and white top trim, nickel tuning machines, and a firestripe pickguard.

This comfortable 12-string model features an accommodating body shape, time-tested tonewoods and a revolutionary neck joint design.
Grand Auditorium
Our flagship shape offers comfort and cross-genre utility, with a clear, balanced tone suited for both fingerstyle and strumming.
Indian Rosewood
The tonewood superstar. Popular, traditional, and versatile, Bob Taylor puts Indian rosewood among the greatest tonewoods ever.
Action Control Neck
Building on Taylor’s legacy of easy-playing necks, the new Action Control Neck pairs a long-tenon joint for added warmth and depth with a patented system for effortless string height adjustment.
Spruce
The soundboard choice for most guitars, Sitka spruce produces a broad dynamic range and accommodates a versatile range of playing styles.
The Claria Acoustic Pickup System
Designed for reliability and ease of use, the Claria System features a reimagined piezo pickup that delivers clear, versatile acoustic tone for any application.
Venetian Cutaway
The Venetian cutaway is known for its soft, round lines. The sloping peak of the cutaway will vary depending on the shape of the body.
V-Class Bracing
Our patented V-Class bracing is a revolutionary new pattern — a new sonic engine — that marks a major shift away from traditional steel-string bracing patterns.
