Taylor 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.
