"Taylor’s sleek, easy-playing necks make for an incredibly smooth 12-string experience. The 556ce features mahogany back and sides with a top of Lutz spruce, a natural hybrid of Sitka and White spruce that resembles Adirondack spruce in its robust tonal output. The wood combo, together with the Grand Symphony body and Taylor’s internal Performance bracing, will yield a wonderfully balanced 12-string voice that blends tonal power, depth and articulation into a dynamic package that’s equally responsive to a light or lively strumming attack. A Venetian cutaway offers easy access to the guitar’s upper register octave shimmer, while Taylor’s proprietary Expression System 2 electronics parlay all that musical detail into a well-defined amplified 12-string sound. Appointments include faux tortoise shell binding and pickguard, a rosette of faux tortoise shell framed by grained ivoroid, and a grained ivoroid Century fretboard inlay."
