Why We Chose This Guitar
Taylorâs 200 Series has long been one of the companyâs most successful collections, offering premium features and exceptional value. The 264ce Deluxe takes that formula even further with its stunning Hawaiian koa appointments, deluxe gloss finish, upgraded hardshell case, and the unmistakable sound of a professionally voiced Taylor 12-string.
If youâve been looking for a 12-string thatâs comfortable to play, incredibly reliable, and visually stunning, this model checks every box.

Our Expert Opinion
Many players love the sound of a 12-string but hesitate because of difficult playability. Taylor has largely solved that problem.
The 264ce Deluxe has Taylorâs comfortable neck profile, excellent factory setup, and Grand Auditorium body shape that makes long playing sessions surprisingly comfortable. Whether youâre accompanying vocals, recording layered acoustic tracks, or adding shimmering textures to a live performance, this guitar delivers the iconic 12-string sound without fighting the instrument.
The Shaded Edgeburst finish over the koa top gives this guitar an upscale appearance normally found on instruments costing significantly more.
â
Tone Profile
The solid Hawaiian koa top provides impressive clarity with excellent note separation while continuing to open up and become richer with age.
The layered koa back and sides add warmth, focus, and durability, producing a balanced voice thatâs ideal for the natural shimmer of a 12-string.
Expect:
- Brilliant highs with beautiful sparkle
- Rich, chiming octave harmonics
- Strong midrange presence
- Clear articulation for fingerstyle or flatpicking
- Excellent projection for solo performance or ensemble playing
