For years, Taylor?s sleek, ultra-playable necks have helped define a great 12-string experience. The 12-string Dreadnought 150e fits that signature playability and tonal clarity into an affordable package, making a quality 12-string more accessible to budget-minded players looking to broaden their musical palette. The Dreadnought body?s strong low-end response balances well with the crisp octave shimmer, producing a tone that?s lush and articulate, with lots of dynamic range. Features include layered sapele back and sides, a solid Sitka spruce top, 1-7/8-inch neck, matte-finish body, black binding and pickguard, and Taylor?s Expression System acoustic electronics.
Taylor?s refined take on the classic Dreadnought shape produces a robust voice with low-end power, a snappy midrange, and strong, clear treble notes, retaining the essence of the balanced Taylor sound. The guitar will appeal to flatpickers and lovers of traditional guitar shapes and tones.
Taylor?s all-magnetic acoustic pickup works like a microphone to produce a warm, natural acoustic sound. The ES1 incorporates two magnetic sensors: a body sensor mounted to the soundboard and a string sensor under the fretboard, with an onboard preamp and volume, bass and treble controls.
