The 2015 Taylor 458e combines the rich, piano-like voice of Taylor's Grand Orchestra body with the shimmering chime of a 12-string. Featuring a solid Sitka spruce top paired with solid ovangkol back and sides, it delivers impressive volume, warmth, and articulation while remaining remarkably balanced. Equipped with Taylor's Expression System® 2 electronics, the 458e is equally at home on stage or in the studio, offering a lush, expansive sound that's perfect for strumming, fingerstyle, and singer-songwriter accompaniment.
