Overview

With its all-unison tuning and striking visual style inspired by Mexican musical traditions, the Taylor 657ce Doce Doble offers a unique experience for players wanting to explore the sound of a unison 12-string guitar. Solid Big Leaf maple back and sides paired with a solid Sitka spruce top and our V-Class bracing add up to a bold, resonant sound with additional warmth and low-end power supplied by our Grand Pacific body shape and the consistent voicing that comes with our double-mounted string anchoring system. A Florentine cutaway provides easy access to the guitar's upper register while adding a traditional visual flair. Appointments for the Taylor 657ce Doce Doble include a white pearloid pickguard with a matching truss rod cover, Mission inlays in mother-of-pearl and grained ivoroid, and gold mini-tuners. It includes ES2 electronics for clear plugged-in tone and ships with a deluxe Western Floral hardshell case.
