250ce Plus BLK Doce Doble

Players hoping to add the uniquely Latin-inspired sounds of the Somos Collection to their toolkit are sure to be enticed by the all-black 250ce Plus BLK Doce Doble, a unison-strung 12-string with a striking visual profile. This cutaway Dreadnought acoustic-electric boasts a solid top of torrefied spruce paired with layered maple back and sides, serving up a clear, bold voice rich with octave sparkle and a dash of aged-in warmth thanks to Taylor's proprietary top roasting process.

The unison tuning yields a sound that's distinctive within the 12-string category, perfect for traditional Mexican and Latin genres and a welcome addition to other acoustic styles for experimental players.

Appointments include an glossy black finish accented with a pearloid pickguard and truss rod cover, satin black tuning machines, white binding, and traditional dot fretboard inlays. Onboard ES2 electronics ensure clean sound for amplified situations, and the included AeroCase offers all the protection of a hardshell case at one-third the weight.

  • Solid torrefied spruce top delivers clear, warm voice

Features

All-Black Style Meets All-Unison Tone

A striking black finish with pearloid accents serves up a perfect complement to this Doce Doble's sparkling voice.

Dreadnought

Taylor’s Dreadnought captures the potent tone flatpickers and strummers love.

Big Leaf Maple

Though mostly known as a body wood, maple offers a dry, midrange-centric tone profile when used as a soundboard.

Sitka Spruce

The soundboard choice for most guitars, Sitka spruce produces a broad dynamic range and accommodates a versatile range of playing styles.

Expression System® 2

The Expression System® 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.

Venetian Cutaway

The Venetian cutaway is known for its soft, round lines. The sloping peak of the cutaway will vary depending on the shape of the body.
