Description
Immerse yourself in the rich sonic textures of the Taylor 657ce Doce Doble, a remarkable acoustic instrument inspired by traditional Mexican and Latin music. With a name that translates to "double 12," this Taylor is unison-strung instead of featuring octave pairs, giving it a robust and resonant sound that sets it apart in the world of string instruments. If you've been looking for a one-of-a-kind 12-string acoustic guitar with a delightfully unique sound and style, you need to try the Taylor 657ce Doce Doble.
Unlike traditional 12-string guitars that require modifications and additional reinforcements to handle the extra string tension, the Taylor 657ce Doce Doble benefits from Taylor's innovative V-Class bracing. This design not only provides the guitar with exceptional strength and stability but also enhances the overall tone, allowing the soundboard to flex more freely for a fuller bass response. This pairs wonderfully with its Sitka spruce soundboard and Grand Pacific body, which project loudly with tight lows, punchy mids, and clear highs.
The Doce Doble doesn't just sound great - it's a visual masterpiece. Featuring an elegant Florentine-style cutaway, this guitar looks incredible and provides full access to the upper register. Its aesthetic is further complemented by sophisticated details such as white binding around the body, fretboard, and peghead, a single-ring green abalone rosette, and mother-of-pearl grained ivoroid Mission inlays. Additionally, the guitar features a single white pearloid pickguard, ebony bridge pins with green abalone dots, and gold Taylor mini tuners.
Equipped with Taylor's ES2 electronics, the Doce Doble has a woody and authentic amplified sound that'll impress even the pickiest players. It also ships in a Taylor deluxe hardshell Western Floral case, providing maximum protection and a touch of elegance.
For players looking to explore beyond traditional 12-string acoustic configurations, the Doce Doble offers a plug-and-play experience with broad appeal, thanks to its standard unison tuning.
