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.
