TAYLOR 150ce

The Taylor 150ce is a twelve-string electro-acoustic guitar from Taylor with a dreadnought resonant body. The guitar's soundboard is made of torrified, i.e. heat-treated, spruce, while the back and sides are made of laminated sapele. The acoustic qualities of the guitar are raised to a higher level by the new asymmetrical C-Class ribbing. A rounded lower body cutaway (Venetian) facilitates touch-up at the higher positions of the fingerboard.

The mahogany neck is glued to an ebony fingerboard fitted with twenty frets. The strings are held in chrome die-cast Taylor mechanisms and an ebony fingerboard over a micarta saddle and Nubone fretboard. The stylish finish is accentuated by the black perimeter binding and black pickguard.

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 piezoelectric 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 gig bag.

The 100 series instruments are manufactured in the Tecate, Mexico factory, but this does not detract from the quality. Tecate is only a few dozen kilometres away from EL Cajon in California, so production is properly controlled.
