Taylor Next Generation 812ce Grand Concert Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Sitka Spruce/Indian Rosewood

Luxurious and exceptional, the Taylor Next Generation 812ce acoustic-electric guitar elevates the acclaimed Grand Concert platform with a collection of innovative design advancements, delivering comfort, responsiveness, and tonal complexity. Acoustic brilliance incarnate, this compact acoustic combines premium tonewoods, Taylor’s revolutionary Action Control Neck, scalloped V-Class bracing, and the expressive Claria electronics system to create an instrument that excels equally with fingerpicking, flatpicking, and hybrid styles. Bold in aesthetics and tone, the 812ce is the pinnacle of the Next Generation series.

A solid Sitka spruce top paired with Indian rosewood back and sides delivers a richly textured voice, producing complex, natural harmonics that boasts excellent projection with its scalloped V-class bracing system. Clear trebles and solid lows complement each other, resulting in a balanced, lush tonality that is applicable for any playstyle. In the 812ce, a rosewood fingerboard is sported on the Sitka spruce top, paired with a green abalone rosette and maple binding with black/maple/rosewood edge trim that leads to a deluxe aesthetic that perfectly matches the sound it exudes.

Essential to the Next Generation design is Taylor’s innovative Action Control Neck. Featuring a long-tenon neck joint for increased tonal warmth and depth, this system incorporates Taylor’s patented micro-adjustability technology, allowing precise neck-angle refinement that can be achieved in seconds for a natural, intuitive play. Crafted from neo-tropical mahogany and shaped to Taylor’s comfortable Standard Carve profile, the neck is paired with a West African Crelicam ebony fingerboard featuring 20 frets, elegant Mother-of-Pearl Element inlays, and a comfortable 24.875-inch scale length.

For utilization in the stage and studio, the 812ce is equipped with Taylor’s advanced Claria acoustic pickup system. Touting an undersaddle piezo design with a proprietary preamp and discreet soundhole-mounted controls, Claria transparently captures the guitar’s natural character with impressive clarity and detail. From crisp articulation to warmer vintage-inspired textures and grand low-end response, the system supplies exceptional tonal flexibility. Intuitive volume, tone, and mid-contour controls make it easy to tailor your amplified sound for any performance or recording situation.

Secured in a brown Taylor deluxe hardshell case, the Next Generation 812ce embodies the prestige evolution of Taylor greatness.
