Post by: Rayjay on May 09, 2014, 10:23:38 PM

What was the last year Taylor made the 12 string Jumbo? Specifically a 455RCE?

the last run of 455R/455Rce models, i recall (in name) was in 03 -
in the spring, there was a run of gloss body rosewood 4XXRs &
there were also 2 more runs of rosewood 400 LTDs that year,
4XXL2 & 4XXL5, with each of them offering 455 & 455ce models

i believe fall 04 was the last run of jumbo 400 rosewood 12 strings - 455 & 455ceL7

fall 09 was the last year i remember the "R" designation
being used on 400 series LTD rosewood models (4XXceLTD-R),
but there no jumbo or 12 string models offered in that run

the numbered jumbo series was discontinued in 2012 -
the latest 400 rosewood LTD series was Fall 13, but
the only 12 string model offered was the 456ceFLTD
