Like an entire ensemble unto itself, the 455 delivers a sound that is well-balanced and resonant but undeniably powerful. When you step on the gas it kicks into high gear for a uniquely rewarding sonic experience with punch. The quick, articulate response of Sitka spruce is combined with the warmth and sparkle of ovangkol, giving this 12 string an expressive and pleasing tone.The Jumbo delivers the extra-deep resonance and volume that come with a larger sound changer together with its own signature subtleties. With a huge presence, the Jumbo is perfectly suited for aggressive strumming.The finish used to create this guitar's textured satin back and sides and lustrous gloss top was developed at Taylor for maximum durability and resistance to cold-checking. This ultraviolet-cured finish is also more environmentally friendly than traditional lacquer finishes.
