The Taylor 150e Walnut 12-String Electro Acoustic Guitar features a dreadnought body that delivers robust low-end response that balances beautifully with the silky octave shimmer.
The solid Sitka spruce top gives you wonderful projection with the perfect amount of sparkle, and the layered walnut back and sides offer a rigid construction that aids in adding power and projection to your sound with a vibrant tone.
Traditionally, acoustic-electric guitars have employed under-saddle piezo transducers, but Taylor goes about it a bit differently. Their Expression System 2 uses a proprietary pickup behind the saddle. The pickup's three individually calibrated, precisely positioned piezo-electric sensors respond organically to the instrument's acoustic energy as it's transferred through the saddle. In concert with Taylor's custom-designed preamp, the result is a natural acoustic sound with incredible dynamic range and responsiveness to your pick or finger attack.

I was intending buying a Guild but having tried a 12 string with a similar 48mm neck, I decided against it as being unplayable for me. For my hands the Taylor is just right and very playable all the way up the fretboard. I am pleased that I have it. It rings like a bell and shimmers like a 12 string should. It reminded me of the sound of the Taylor 12 string on Neil Young's Rust Never Sleeps album. It is that good. An all round excellent guitar that won't be surpassed at this price point and I would say the more you spend the only differences are likely to see are more cosmetic and not so great to the ear.
