Taylor 150ce: The World’s Most Playable 12-String

The Taylor 150ce brings the lush, orchestral sound of a 12-string guitar to a package that is as comfortable as it is affordable. Known as one of the world’s best-selling 12-strings, the 150ce proves that you don’t have to sacrifice playability for that signature octave shimmer.

Rich, Textured Tone

Built with the classic Dreadnought body shape, the 150ce delivers a powerful voice with a robust low-end response. The heart of its sound is a solid torrefied Sitka spruce top. By undergoing a specialized roasting process, the spruce gains an "aged" character, offering the warmth and resonance of a vintage instrument from the very first strum. Paired with layered sapele back and sides, this guitar produces a clear, balanced tone that handles everything from aggressive strumming to delicate fingerpicking with ease.

Legendary Taylor Playability

The biggest hurdle for 12-string players is often the neck, but the 150ce changes the game. Featuring the patented Taylor Neck with a slender, ergonomic profile, it feels remarkably like playing a 6-string. The lower string action and slightly narrower nut width make it easy to hold down complex chords and maintain accuracy across the fretboard, ensuring your hands stay fresh through long sets.

Built for the Stage and Studio

Equipped with Taylor’s proprietary Expression System® 2 (ES2) electronics, the 150ce is ready to plug and play. Unlike traditional piezo pickups, the ES2’s behind-the-saddle design captures the true dynamic range of the guitar, delivering a natural, transparent acoustic sound through any amp or PA system.
