{"product_id":"taylor-454ce-next-generation","title":"Taylor Next Generation 454ce","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Next Generation 454ce is a 12-string Grand Auditorium in solid Indian rosewood and Sitka spruce, with V-Class bracing and two features new to this model: the Action Control Neck and Claria electronics. The Action Control Neck lets string height be adjusted quickly, and its long-tenon joint adds low-end resonance. Claria gives a predictable plugged-in sound that's easy to dial in, for the player and for whoever is running the desk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eV-Class is there for projection, sustain and pitch accuracy, and on a 12-string the pitch accuracy is what keeps the pairs agreeing as you move up the neck. Taylor voices the rosewood and spruce for clear trebles, warm lows and plenty of overtone around the octave strings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe appointments are Weathervane inlays on the fretboard and peghead, black binding with black and white top trim, a firestripe pickguard and nickel tuners, all under a full gloss finish. For the same woods with maple binding, an abalone rosette, Element inlays and a rosewood armrest, look at the Next Generation 854ce. For Honduran rosewood and Adirondack spruce, the Next Generation PS54ce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBODY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCountry of Origin: USA\u003cbr\u003eBody Shape: Grand Auditorium\u003cbr\u003eCutaway: Venetian Cutaway\u003cbr\u003eBracing System: V-Class Bracing\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Strings: 12 String\u003cbr\u003eTop Wood: Spruce\u003cbr\u003eBack\/Side Wood: Indian Rosewood\u003cbr\u003eRosette: White (.047\") Single Ring\u003cbr\u003eBack Configuration: 2-piece No Wedge\u003cbr\u003eBody Binding: Black\u003cbr\u003eArmrest: None\u003cbr\u003eTop Finish: Gloss\u003cbr\u003eBack\/Side Finish: Gloss\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNECK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck Wood: Neo-Tropical Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eFretboard Wood: West African Crelicam Ebony\u003cbr\u003eNeck Profile: Standard Carve\u003cbr\u003eFretboard Inlay: Faux Pearl Weathervane\u003cbr\u003eFretboard Binding: Black\u003cbr\u003eNeck Finish: Satin\u003cbr\u003eNut Width: 1-7\/8\"\u003cbr\u003ePeghead Veneer Wood: West African Crelicam Ebony\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 25-1\/2\"\u003cbr\u003ePeghead Inlay: Faux Pearl Weathervane\u003cbr\u003ePeghead Type: Paddle\u003cbr\u003ePeghead Binding: None\u003cbr\u003ePeghead Finish: Satin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eELECTRONICS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElectronics: The Claria Acoustic Pickup System\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHARDWARE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBridge: West African Crelicam Ebony\u003cbr\u003eNut \u0026amp; Saddle: Black Tusq Nut, White Micarta Saddle\u003cbr\u003eBridge Pins: West African Crelicam Ebony\u003cbr\u003eStrings: D'Addario XS Coated Phosphor Bronze Light (.010 - .047)\u003cbr\u003ePickguard: Firestripe\u003cbr\u003eTuners: Taylor Nickel with Nickel Buttons\u003cbr\u003eStrap Pin: Black\u003cbr\u003eEnd Pin: Black\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCASE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCase\/Bag: Taylor Deluxe Hardshell Brown\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Natural","offer_id":47769346539604,"sku":"A408102118402090000","price":3999.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/1220\/7188\/files\/Taylor-454ce-2026-Spec-1210085091-FrontLeft-2025_sq.jpg?v=1791348252","url":"https:\/\/lauzonmusic.com\/products\/taylor-454ce-next-generation","provider":"Lauzon Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
