TAYLOR 250ce-BLK DLX

The 250ce BLK DLX is a twelve-string electro-acoustic guitar from Taylor with a resonant dreadnought body in a gorgeous gloss black finish. The front is made of solid Lutz spruce, the back and sides of laminated maple. Glued to the solid maple neck is an ebony fingerboard fitted with twenty frets and position markers in the shape of small diamonds. A subtle rounded lower body cutaway (Venetian Cutaway) facilitates touch-up at the higher positions of the fingerboard.

The strings are held in Taylor tuning machines in satin black over a micarta saddle and TusQ zero fret. The visual impression is enhanced by traditional elements in the form of imitation mother-of-pearl rosette, white body binding and practical black pickguard.

The sound pickup is handled by the Taylor Expression System 2. This is a completely unique pickup method that takes the possibilities of realistic sound reproduction to unprecedented dimensions. Three specially designed independent piezo pickups located behind the fingerboard are used for pickups. Unlike conventional pickups, they don't sense the up and down movement of the board, but the natural back and forth vibration of the grasshopper seat. This makes the sound much more natural, colourful and pleasing, and more responsive to the dynamics of your playing. At the same time, the new preamp makes the signal 25% stronger. Of course, feedback is eliminated and you can adjust the volume, bass and treble.

The instrument comes in a luxurious Taylor case.

The American company Taylor is famous for producing acoustic guitars that are very well crafted and offer a superior sound. The instruments in the 200 series are manufactured in the Tecate, Mexico factory, but that doesn't detract from the quality. Tecate is only a few dozen kilometres away from EL Cajon in California, so production is properly controlled.
