Taylor 800 Series | 812ce

Built on the all-star tonewood pairing of Indian rosewood and Sitka spruce, the 812ce offers players a more compact take on the flagship Taylor experience. This compact Grand Concert acoustic-electric serves up a richly textured sound with lush overtones, crisp trebles and a warm low range, articulate enough for fingerstyle play but powerful enough for traditional strumming and flatpicking. V-Class bracing helps dial up more volume and longer sustain, and the radius-style rosewood armrest makes for an even more welcoming feel. Subtle, yet striking appointments include a smoky ebony fretboard, maple binding, an abalone rosette and a super-thin full-body gloss finish. The 812ce includes ES2 electronics and ships with a hardshell case.

Grand Concert - A smaller-bodied guitar ideally suited for fingerstyle.

Indian Rosewood - The tonewood superstar. Popular, traditional, and versatile, Bob Taylor puts Indian rosewood among the greatest tonewoods ever.

Sitka Spruce - The soundboard choice for most guitars, Sitka spruce produces a broad dynamic range and accommodates a versatile range of playing styles.

Expression System 2 - The Expression System 2 captures more of a guitar's dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.

Venetian Cutaway - The Venetian cutaway is known for its soft, round lines. The sloping peak of the cutaway will vary depending on the shape of the body.

V-Class Bracing - Our patented V-Class bracing is a revolutionary new pattern - a new sonic engine - that marks a major shift away from traditional steel-string bracing patterns.
