Taylor 250ce Plus 12-string Acoustic-electric Guitar - Black

12-string Acoustic-electric Guitar with Spruce Top, Layered Maple Back and Sides, Mahogany Neck, and Ebony Fingerboard - Black

Improving Classic 12-string Dreadnoughts with Signature Taylor Twists

The 250ce Plus 12-string acoustic-electric guitar pairs an iconic 12-string dreadnought with superb Taylor comfort and voicing. Select cuts of spruce and maple give the 250ce Plus remarkable clarity and note separation well-suited to chunky strums, progressive fingerstyle, bluegrass, and more. An empowering mahogany neck keeps the 12-string fatigue at bay, with exceptional support for traversing the ebony fingerboard. Factor in a Venetian cutaway, and you're set for a shockingly smooth 12-string experience. Furthermore, the 250ce Plus features C-Class bracing beneath the hood, translating Taylor’s signature sound to a large and loud dreadnought by reigning in booming bass. All in all, the 250ce Plus 12-string acoustic-electric from Sweetwater is an incredible all-purpose 12-string that's primed for the bright lights.

The right tonewoods for the job

With twice as many strings and significantly more string pressure than standard acoustics, 12-string guitars benefit from unique tonewood selections and tailored response. The 250ce Plus 12-string acoustic-electric guitar meets this challenge with a torrefied spruce top and back and sides carved from layered bigleaf maple. Maple’s bright transparency is a natural fit for a 12-string acoustic; Taylor’s approach to voicing maple yields hidden complexity, warm sustain, and an intimate response highly reflective of individual playing styles. The 250ce Plus’s sound is further sweetened by a lightweight Sitka spruce top that’s torrefied (roasted) to remove water, sugars, and organic compounds that might otherwise dampen resonance. This results in a guitar that’s louder and more responsive with mature “played-in” qualities that will only get better with age.

Plus series appointments

The 250ce Plus infuses the superb performance of 200 series guitars with premium looks — the result is a top-notch 12-string that’s a steal of a deal at this price! The body is double-bound for looks that are extra-classy onstage while a bridge and headstock overlay carved from ebony serve up luscious hardwood character that aims to please. If you love exceptional value (and who doesn’t?), then your collection isn’t complete with a 250ce Plus 12-string in the mix.

Proprietary C-Class Bracing

Taylor’s original C-Class bracing gives this mighty dreadnought brilliant focus that feels right at home within Taylor’s lineup. Initially an off-shoot of Taylor's acclaimed V-Class bracing created for the recently introduced Grand Theater body shape, C-class bracing is cantilevered and asymmetrical with optimized projection and sensitivity. Borrowed V-Class elements let C-Class bracing heighten your soundboard’s response, and players report that the enhanced sensitivity helps offset fatigue during extended sessions. What’s more, C-Class bracing tames the low-end woody frequencies that often haunt dreadnoughts. Expect fluid warmth and greater focus, especially on lower strings, making it easier than ever to find an excellent sound for stages and studios.
