Description
The first Taylor 50th Anniversary model to feature Taylor’s Grand Concert body shape, the Builder’s Edition 812ce LTD boasts a premium tonewood pairing, celebratory appointments, and a suite of hand-pleasing refinements. Revered for its rich bass, bell-like trebles, and lush overtones, the Indian rosewood back and sides pair beautifully with the 50th Anniversary Builder’s Edition 812ce LTD’s sinker redwood top—a wood reclaimed from northern California rivers that blends cedar-like warmth and touch sensitivity with a wide dynamic range.
Taylor Builder’s Edition 812ce LTD features visual enhancements like an abalone rosette with rosewood/maple/black purfling around a rosewood-bound soundhole, black/maple/ rosewood top purfling, an Indian rosewood pickguard, Taylor’s Element fretboard and peghead inlays in gold-hued mother-of-pearl, and maple purfling around the back, fretboard and peghead. In addition, Taylor’s Kona Edgeburst on the back and sides presents a dusky visual vibe, while a gloss finish highlights the guitar’s beautifully sculpted contours. It also comes equipped with an onboard ES2 pickup to provide ample tonal control and responsiveness.
