Taylor’s sleek, easy-playing necks make for an incredibly smooth 12-string experience. The 556ce features mahogany back and sides with a top of Lutz spruce, a natural hybrid of Sitka and White spruce that resembles Adirondack spruce in its robust tonal output. The wood combo, together with the Grand Symphony body and Taylor’s internal Performance bracing, will yield a wonderfully balanced 12-string voice that blends tonal power, depth and articulation into a dynamic package that’s equally responsive to a light or lively strumming attack. A Venetian cutaway offers easy access to the guitar’s upper register octave shimmer, while Taylor’s proprietary Expression System® 2 electronics parlay all that musical detail into a well-defined amplified 12-string sound. Appointments include faux tortoise shell binding and pickguard, a rosette of faux tortoise shell framed by grained ivoroid, and a grained ivoroid Century fretboard inlay. Learn More

2017 Santa Cruz H13. What’s up with thirteen frets? The historical precedent for this classic shape was the Gibson ‘Nick Lucas Special’ from the 1920’s and ’30’s, the one Bob Dylan holds in early photos. The “H” designation is an acknowledgment to the guardian of the lore of all things vintage and stringed, Maestro Paul Hostetter, who commissioned SCGC to build the prototype in 1978. In spite of the question of whether the historic 13 frets to the body had any basis in acoustic science, our reason for using it does. SCGC’s concept for the H-13 is to achieve power beyond what would be expected in a small-bodied guitar. Two fundamental lutherie tricks make this possible: a longer string length (more downward pressure at the saddle) and more air space via a deeper body (increased volume and bass response). To place the bridge in the optimal position for power and maintain the longer string length, the neck needs to join the body at the 13th fret. Cool, huh? This is a gorgeous classic with power and presence expected from a much larger instrument. Perfect for aggressive fingerstyle blues and vocal accompaniment, the H-13 feels really sweet to hold.
