12-string Dreadnought Spruce/Sapele w/Electronics
 This product is no longer available.
For years, Taylor's sleek, ultra-playable necks have helped define a great 12-string experience. The 12-string Dreadnought 150e fits that signature playability and tonal clarity into an affordable package, making a quality 12-string more accessible to budget-minded players looking to broaden their musical palette. The Dreadnought body's strong low-end response balances well with the crisp octave shimmer, producing a tone that's lush and articulate, with lots of dynamic range. Features include layered sapele back and sides, a solid Sitka spruce top, 1-7/8-inch neck, matte-finish body, black binding and pickguard, and Taylor's Expression System 2 pickup.

I have been looking for a 12 for quite a while. I have seen Takamini fender and others. They just did not cut it. Went to L & M this morning just to look as there has not been much on the market with covid going on Went into the acoustic room a right above my head was this Taylor. I just played it for a few minutes and fell in love. I know I will have many years enjoying my 150E.

I've owned my Taylor for over a year, and the quality and craftsmanship is amazing. It truly is a dream to play. I have several other 12 string guitars but this is my most played by far. The tuning heads are very precise so once it's in tune it stays in tune. After a couple hours of playing only minor adjustments are made to the strings. Highly recommended and very affordable for the quality!

I went into Long and Mcquade to get a 12 string - always wanted one. I saw the entry-level Martin and decided to buy it. I didn't even bother with the high-end Martin because it was too expensive. I went to buy it and the sales man went to the back to get me a new one in the box. While I was waiting I picked up the Taylor just for fun - it played and sound way better than the Martin. I couldn't believe how good it was. To see how it compared to the top of the line Martin I played them side by side. To my amazement the Taylor sounded better and played better than the Martin which was over 4 times the price. As the salesman came back I told him I wanted the Taylor instead. He turned around and grabbed me a new Taylor and I am so happy with my decision. I also like the fact that the Taylor has a binding and came with a case - the Martin had neither. This 12 string is comparable to any other, no matter the price!

I've been in the market for a 12 string for a long time. After a lot of looking around I had basically decided on buying an simon and patrick for around the $650 mark. I went into the store and while I was waiting for the salesman to set up the s and p I though I wanted I played this taylor. When she came back I told her I'd changed my mind. Haven't been able to put this taylor down since I bought it. I also have a Taylor 6 string that i love and this guitar feel a identical to it. Switching back and forth feels great. Would recommend this guitar no questions asked to anyone

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
