It’s sometimes referred to as a requinto-style setup or a Mexican 12-string, but it doesn’t have a formal name, so Taylor is referring to this one as Doce Doble, which translates into “double 12.” It produces a bold and resonant double-course voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditionally, players wanting a unison 12-string would take a standard-strung 12-string guitar and then have it modified by a luthier — typically with bridge reinforcements needed to support the added string tension — but in this case, the strength and stability of Taylor's own V-Class bracing architecture parallel to the strings eliminates the need for further modification.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat structural integrity, together with the other tonal enhancements of V-Class and Taylor's signature playability, make the 657ce Doce Doble a fantastic plug-and-play option for players looking to explore the sonic flavors of a unison 12-string guitar. Because the tuning is accessible to all players, we think it will have broad appeal to a wide variety of musicians.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimilar to its 657ce Bajo Quinto counterpart, the Doce Doble features a solid maple\/spruce Grand Pacific body with a Florentine-style cutaway, along with a comparable appointment package: white binding around the body, fretboard and peghead, a single-ring green abalone rosette with black and white purfling, mother-of-pearl and grained ivoroid Mission inlays, a white pearloid truss rod cover, ebony bridge pins with green abalone dots, and gold Taylor mini tuners.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotable distinctions include a single white pearloid pickguard (instead of the double pickguard for the bajo quinto), D’Addario XS coated phosphor bronze light-gauge strings (double 12 stringing) featuring our double-mounted string anchoring system for a more consistent voicing response, and Taylor ES2 electronics. The guitar ships in a Taylor deluxe hardshell Western Floral case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSerial # 1205294062 (2024)  -  this guitar is on display and has been utilized for demos, but is still in great shape.  It's been setup to play perfectly by the techs in our shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBack\/Side Wood:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid Big Leaf Maple\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop Wood:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sitka Spruce\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hard Rock Maple\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFretboard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crelicam Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNut Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-7\/8”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25-1\/2”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBracing:\u003c\/strong\u003e V-Class\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElectronics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Taylor ES2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGuitar Protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deluxe Hardshell Case, Western Floral\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStrings:\u003c\/strong\u003e D’Addario XS Coated Phosphor Bronze Light-gauge\u003cbr\u003e(Double 12 Stringing*)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStock: AS06134211006773001\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45288849342707,"sku":"04TAY193","price":2899.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/1-Img9099.jpg?v=1738885963","url":"https:\/\/www.truetonemusic.mom\/products\/taylor-657ce-doce-doble-with-case","provider":"Truetone Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
