The Taylor 562ce at a glance
Due to its exceptionally compact design, the Taylor 562ce promises exceptionally comfortable handling and produces an amazingly loud and balanced sound thanks to its all-solid construction. The neck / body transition of the 12-string acoustic guitar is already located at the 12th fret, so that the upper of the 18 frets get an optimized access. This is supported not least by the generous cutaway. In addition, the instrument is equipped with the new V-Class bracing, which on the one hand provides for an almost attack and on the other hand, like the precisely tuned Hardware for a clean intonation. High-quality tuners are inserted into the typical headstock, with the help of which the 12 steel strings can be precisely tuned. So that the acoustic sound can also be amplified to the best, the in-house Taylor Expression System 2 is built into the body. Visually, the Grand-Concert is rounded off by filigree inlays that tastefully harmonize with each other. The scope of delivery includes a brown deluxe hardshell case.
A loud and balanced sound with charming chorus effect of the 12 steel strings
Construction and woods
To allow the chorus effect of the double stringing to unfold warmly yet clearly, the top is made of mahogany. The fine-grained tonewood colors the sound with rich midrange and restrained treble frequencies, so that Pickings and light strumming in particular come across perfectly. Meanwhile, the mahogany body provides the necessary warmth in the bass frequencies. The shortened mahogany neck of the acoustic guitar, in combination with the Cutaway in the lower rib, guarantees the player obliging playability as well as easy access to the higher registers. The headstock overlay, fingerboard, bridge and bridge pins are made of the finest ebony.
Hardware and design
To ensure a clean unfolding of the full tonal range, the bridge inlay is made of Micarta and the 47.6 mm wide nut is made of GraphTech TUSQ. At the same time, the nickel-plated Taylor tuners allow accurate tuning of the 6 pairs of strings. Century inlays are conspicuously incorporated into the fretboard for orientation. The individual components of the body are bordered by delicate tortoise bindings, which are an excellent match for the bright single-ring soundhole rosette. While the top is covered with a Shaded Edgeburst finish, the body is left natural.
Electronics
The TaylorExpression System 2 has three piezo elements embedded in the bridge. These pick up 2 pairs of str ings at the most efficient point of the body in terms of sound and transport the sound directly to the side preamp. The output signal can be individually adjusted in volume, bass and treble frequencies. The active pickup system is powered by a 9V block battery, which is stowed in a battery compartment right next to the jack.
