Well, new to me. 1995 Taylor 555-12. Always had a soft spot for those Taylor 12's. This baby has some battle scars, but I think it just adds character. I don't know if I'll put a pick up in her, I doubt I'll gig or jam with her. Inspirational to play, though. Nicely aged in, great top. Any other Taylor 12 owners out there?  |

Yes. I've got a 355. I put a K&K pup in it and I love it.
Hope you enjoy it. ;-)

Very nice! Love a good 12 string
From what I understand K&K pickup is not very obtrusive to the guitar but if your happy as is then by means keep it that way.  |

Very nice, congrats!
Those '90s Taylors can be something special.

I have a 455ces. It was a limited model; rosewood sides, cutaway and first gen. Taylor pick ups. Bought it new so it has a lifetime warranty. I have had the Pickup serviced twice under warranty, had the frets dressed once. The sound, as you now know, is incredible. Full and complex. Enjoy it.... Oh I wound up using elixer strings, which is what came on it originally.

Not having a volume control could have been an issue, but Taylor also had a guitar cable with a volume control right where it plugs into the guitar. I love that puppy. Sadly, they discontinued them. |

Triode,
I would love to have a decent 12 string guitar. To have it be a Taylor would put me in the "clouds ". Do you mind me asking how it has been doing for you since you bought it?
