The Taylor Builder's Edition 812ce 50th Anniversary in detail
Taylor Guitars celebrates five decades of guitar making with strictly limited special edition models that showcase premium tonewoods, exquisite appointments, exacting craftsmanship and the innovative spirit that defines the Taylor Guitar heritage. The Builder's Edition 812ce is one of these models.
New tonewoods for the 800 series
Taylor's first 50th Anniversary Grand Concert, the Builder’s Edition 812ce LTD features a premium tonewood pairing, celebratory appointments and a suite of hand-pleasing refinements. Indian rosewood, revered for its rich bass, bell-like trebles and lush overtones, pairs beautifully with sinker redwood, a wood reclaimed from northern California rivers that blends cedar-like warmth and touch sensitivity with a wide dynamic range.
Modern details and comfort
V-Class bracing levels up volume and sustain while improving intonation all the way up the neck. 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.
Only the best for your birthday
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. Ebony bridge pins with gold acrylic dots, Gotoh 510 antique gold tuners and a commemorative label round out the special anniversary touches. It comes equipped with an onboard ES2 pickup and ships in a Taylor deluxe hardshell case. Production is limited to 1,974 pieces.
