This is the Taylor 50th Anniversary Builder's Edition 812ce Limited Edition guitar, a wonderful offering for those who want Grand Concert slinkiness and 800 series appointments! The guitar is built with a Sinker redwood top and Indian rosewood for the back and sides. Sinker redwood is a wood reclaimed from northern California rivers that blends cedar-like warmth and touch sensitivity with a wide dynamic range. Builder’s Edition ergonomic enhancements include a beveled armrest, cutaway, chamfered edges and a contoured Curve Wing bridge. Together with its 24-7/8" scale length that makes fretting easier and adds a slinkier feel on the strings, these enhancements raise this Grand Concert’s levels of comfort and playability to new heights.
Visual details include an abalone rosette with rosewood/maple/black purfling around a rosewood-bound soundhole; black/maple/ rosewood top purfling; an Indian rosewood pickguard; Element fretboard and peghead inlays in gold-hued mother-of-pearl; and maple purfling around the back, fretboard and peghead. A Kona edgeburst on the back and sides presents a dusky visual vibe while a gloss finish highlights the guitar’s beautifully sculpted contours.
