    Taylor is excited to unveil a new category of double-course instruments inspired by the Latin/Mexican musical influences. Taylor Guitars is releasing a modified 12 string guitar that is strung in unison instead of octaves. The result is a more requinto style set up executed with the Taylor standard of playability and craftmanship. It’s sometimes referred to as a Mexican 12-string and Taylor is calling this instrument the Doce Doble, which translates into “double 12.” It produces a bold and resonant double-course voice.

    Taylor Guitars master builder Andy Powers has applied the same fundamental design standards that Taylor is known for in the acoustic guitar world — easy-playing necks, clear, balanced sound, consistently high build quality and reliable performance — to craft a unison 12 string guitar that delivers a fun and inspiring “Taylor-grade” playing experience. Players will enjoy the inspiration in this unique instrument that includes the Latin experience and way beyond.

    Like the Bajo Quinto, the Doce Doble incorporates some of Taylor’s existing body design architecture to craft a premium-performance instrument using Taylor’s Grand Pacific body style and V-Class internal bracing.

    The Doce Doble features a solid maple/spruce Grand Pacific body with a Florentine-style cutaway, 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.

    Notable 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.
