Default NGD: Taylor 552ce 12 Fret!

Wow - I used to play 12 string guitars years ago and haven't owned one for many more...but came across this hot-off-the-press 2016 12 string from Taylor and just had to have it.

It's a cedar over hog, Grand Concert body and, with the 12 frets to the body, has a wonderful full sound!

And, best of all, even though it's a 12 string, it is so amazingly easy to play.... because of the grand concert size, short scale/12 frets!

If you're considering a 12 fret guitar, I highly recommend this new model from Taylor. The local store I bought it from as sold 4 of them just in the last few weeks.

Awesome, congratulations! It is beautiful. Yes, these 12-fret 12 strings are very impressive. I have a 562ce on order. Can't hardly wait.

Honestly in 20 plus years of playing, I have never seen a 12 string 12 Fret guitar. NEVER, until now!!
Wow that's a killer guitar!!
I really really really want one.
Usually when I want the 12 string sound I just Nashville tune!!
Now I'm thinking Hhhhhmmm!
