The Taylor 250ce Plus Doce Doble 12-string dreadnought acoustic-electric guitar is a bold take on a Latin-inspired 12-string with a unison-strung design that delivers shimmering power and rhythmic drive. Part of the Somos Collection, it’s rooted in regional Mexican musical tradition while remaining versatile enough for any genre that requires rich, chorus-like textures. At its core, a torrefied Sitka spruce top ensures an open, seasoned voice with strong projection, while layered big leaf maple back and sides contribute crisp articulation and balance. Onboard ES2 electronics guarantee a natural amplified sound on any stage, making the 250ce Plus Doce Doble a standout instrument for players who demand both tradition and innovation in a single instrument.
Torrefied Sitka Spruce Top and Unison-Strung Power
The 250ce Plus Doce Doble’s big, expressive sound begins with a torrefied Sitka spruce top paired with layered big leaf maple back and sides—a tonewood recipe that balances projection, clarity and rich harmonic content. The torrefaction process enhances resonance and responsiveness, giving the guitar a broken-in feel from the first strum. Its dreadnought body shape adds deep low end and robust volume, while the unison-strung setup delivers bold shimmer with tighter, more percussive attack. The result is a voice that’s both powerful and precise—perfect for Norteño, Tejano and rhythm-driven modern styles.
Comfortable Mahogany Neck and Smooth Ebony Fingerboard
Taylor’s renowned neck design makes the 250ce Plus Doce Doble a joy to play, even with its 12-string layout. Crafted from neo-tropical mahogany, the neck is carved to Taylor’s comfortable standard profile, offering a natural hand feel that minimizes fatigue during extended sessions. The 1.875" nut width ensures clean articulation and seamless chord work, while the 25.5" scale length provides balanced tension across all 12 strings. A genuine West African ebony fingerboard adds a touch of luxury under the fingers, with a smooth surface that makes fast passages and intricate chord changes effortless. Together, these features make the Doce Doble as playable as it is powerful.
Stage-Ready Taylor Expression System 2 Electronics
Plugged in, the 250ce Plus Doce Doble delivers Taylor’s signature amplified clarity through its ES2 pickup system. This innovative design uses three behind-the-saddle sensors to capture a dynamic, natural sound that reflects the guitar’s full acoustic character. Because the pickup doesn’t sit under the saddle, the spruce top and ebony bridge remain free to resonate fully, ensuring the amplified tone feels organic and responsive. On stage, the ES2’s discreet controls for volume, bass and treble allow for quick adjustments, while its professional-grade preamp ensures a strong, balanced signal through any PA or recording setup. Whether live or in the studio, your tone remains true.
Premium Taylor Hardware With Striking Aesthetics
Every detail of the 250ce Plus Doce Doble reflects Taylor’s commitment to both performance and style. Satin black mini tuners with matching buttons provide precise tuning stability, while the Micarta saddle and NuBone nut enhance sustain and intonation across all 12 strings. A pearloid pickguard and truss rod cover contrast elegantly against the sleek gloss black body, highlighted by white binding and a single-ring Italian acrylic rosette. The ebony bridge and headstock overlay add a premium touch, reinforcing the instrument’s high-end feel. Complete with a lightweight but durable AeroCase, this guitar is built for players who demand reliability without sacrificing flair.

The Taylor 250ce Plus Doce Doble 12-string dreadnought acoustic-electric guitar brings a fresh, powerful voice to Latin-inspired music, while its dreadnought projection and torrefied spruce resonance ensure versatility across genres.
