A 12-string acoustic-electric guitar that transports you to a lush tonal paradise.
The Taylor 264ce-K DLX 12-String acoustic-electric guitar delivers an ethereal musical experience. With its 12-string design, each strum produces a symphony of sparkling highs and rich harmonics that fills the air with celestial brilliance. The solid Hawaiian Koa top creates a natural compression, evening out the attack for a balanced response with strong fundamentals and shimmering overtones reminiscent of mahogany. The layered Figured Hawaiian Koa back and sides are visually striking while also providing a durable and complementary foundation for the guitar's complex voice. Plugged in, the revolutionary ES-2 Expression System accurately conveys the 264ce-K DLX's nuanced tones - from the crisp highs to the warm low end - for pristine amplified performance. Transport your audience to a lush tonal paradise with the Taylor 264ce-K DLX.
12-String Design Produces a Shimmering Sonic Symphony
With double the strings, the 264ce-K DLX 12-String acoustic-electric guitar delivers a symphony of sparkling highs and rich harmonics. Each strum produces a celestial chime that fills the air with ethereal brilliance. The pairing of octave strings brings out bell-like overtones, adding dimension and complexity. From delicate fingerpicking to energetic strumming, the 12-string design allows you to create textures and tones that simply can't be achieved on a 6-string. Let your playing shine with the symphonic splendor of the Taylor 264ce-K DLX.
Solid Koa Top Provides Natural Compression and Balance
The solid Hawaiian Koa top yields a balanced acoustic tone with strong fundamentals and shimmering overtones. Koa naturally compresses the attack, evening out the response for an exceptionally clear and focused voice. With the lively brilliance of maple and the warm resonance of mahogany, Koa delivers a diverse tonal palette. Crisp and articulate when played lightly, the Koa top opens up with increasing dynamics, projecting with power and authority when strummed hard. Let the solid Koa top of the 264ce-K DLX enrich your playing.
Layered Koa Back and Sides Are Striking and Durable
Visually striking, the layered Figured Hawaiian Koa back and sides provide a complementary foundation for the guitar's voice. The laminated construction makes the 264ce-K DLX less prone to seasonal shifts while retaining the coveted look and tone of solid Koa. Whether recording in the studio or performing on stage, the layered Koa back and sides keep the guitar stable and reliable. With its elegant looks and road-ready build, the 264ce-K DLX is both a work of art and a working musician's tool.
