The Taylor 352ce 12-string left-handed acoustic-electric guitar provides an ideal blend of playing comfort and Taylor's signature octave-rich 12-string sound for southpaw musicians. Solid sapele back and sides pair with a Sitka spruce top for a broad dynamic range and strong midrange, while the V-Class bracing helps smooth the intonation for a balanced tone up and down the neck. The smaller Grand Concert body offers an inviting playing experience, allowing you to achieve volume without digging in. Taylor's 300 series provides an all-solid-wood acoustic at an accessible price; it's the entry point to Taylor's USA-made line and rewards players with an instrument that only improves with age.

Premium Tonewoods for Resonance

Like all Taylor guitars, the 352ce utilizes premium tonewoods selected for their musical properties. The solid Sitka spruce top is the most common guitar top wood, blending stiffness and flexibility for a wide dynamic range and crisp articulation. Solid sapele back and sides complement the top with a balanced warmth between mahogany's dry clarity and rosewood's complex overtones. Together, these woods produce the impressive resonance and sustain Taylor is known for.

V-Class Bracing for Tuning and Sustain

Taylor's revolutionary V-Class bracing goes beyond traditional X-bracing to optimize volume, sustain and intonation. It creates notes that ring clearly without canceling each other out, with a consistent response across the fingerboard. The 352ce is easier to tune, with purer pitches that electronic tuners easily locate. The enhanced sustain and resonance provides a musical playing experience with rewarding depth and dimension.

Comfortable Grand Concert Body

The 352ce features Taylor's Grand Concert body, which is slightly smaller than the Grand Auditorium and produces controlled overtones so the sound doesn't occupy too much sonic space. This makes it ideal for playing with other instruments. The smaller size also provides an intimate feel, making it comfortable for long practice sessions or couch playing. Despite its size, the focused tone still provides articulate highs and satisfying resonance.

Plugged-In Versatility

The 352ce comes equipped with Taylor's ES-2 pickup, which allows plugging into an amplifier or PA system. The ES-2 faithfully conveys the tone of the guitar's solid-wood construction, providing a natural acoustic sound for stage and studio. Blend between the pickup and acoustic sound using the volume control for more options. A built-in tuner makes tuning quick and convenient during live performance. Overall, the 352ce 12-string provides an inspiring acoustic experience for left-handed players seeking premium tone and versatility.
