Description
50th Anniversary Builder's Edition 812ce LTD
Our compact Grand Concert body style, with its shorter scale length and lap-friendly proportions, is renowned for its physical comfort and focused, articulate sound. This refined Builder’s Edition Grand Concert offers an ultra-comfortable, hand-pleasing playing experience thanks to a beveled armrest and Venetian cutaway, chamfered edges and a contoured Curve Wing bridge. Solid Indian rosewood back and sides, featuring a Kona edgeburst, pair with a sinker redwood soundboard to produce a warm, rich and balanced sound with a wide dynamic range. Sourced from old-growth logs that lay submerged for decades in California riverbeds, sinker redwood offers cedar-like soft-touch sensitivity with ample headroom for more aggressive playing styles. V-Class bracing levels up volume and sustain while ensuring more harmonic agreement between notes all the way up the slender, familiar Taylor neck. Premium 50th Anniversary appointments – Gotoh 510 antique gold tuners and gold-dotted ebony bridge pins – are complemented by an array of elegant details including an Indian rosewood pickguard, abalone rosette and Element inlays in gold-hued mother of pearl. The 50th Anniversary Builder’s Edition 812ce LTD comes outfitted with an ES2 pickup and commemorative label inside. It ships in a Taylor deluxe hardshell case.
50th Anniversary Collection
Celebrating five decades of guitar-making with special, limited-edition models crafted to showcase top-tier tonewoods, exquisite appointments, exacting craftsmanship and the innovative spirit that defines Taylor Guitar's legacy.
Premium Tonewoods Meet Unparalleled Playing Comfort
Builder's Edition refinements offer unmatched playing comfort while Indian rosewood and sinker redwood produce tonal sophistication in this V-Class-braced Grand Concert.
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.
Sinker Redwood
Tight grain structure and cross-grain stiffness produce a bold and brilliant response with warm overtones. Think cedar on steroids.
Expression System 2
The Expression System 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.
Beveled Cutaway
Our beveled cutaway design provides a more player-friendly feel for guitarists who utilize every inch of the fretboard. It features a compound design with a smoothened edge along the corner of the body between the end of the cutaway and the neck heel, providing a more comfortable feel for the fretting hand.
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.
