The « Long-Tenon Action Control Neck » design optimizes the connection between neck and body, adding warmth and depth to the sound. From a purely technical point of view, it also facilitates string height adjustment. You no longer need to remove them to adjust your guitar, which you can quickly and easily adapt to a change in string tension or temperature.

The new « Scalloped V-Class Bracing » design has a very positive impact on the sound of the instrument, without altering the renowned balance and projection of the original V-Class system. Low frequencies are even warmer and more generous, and the resonance of open strings is exacerbated.

The « Claria System Acoustic Electronics » circuit, developed in partnership with many of the world’s leading artists and sound engineers, certainly represents the future of under-saddle piezo pickup. An integrated proprietary preamp and Volume / Tone and Mid-Contour controls make it possible to control the harshness of traditional piezos. You can be sure of consistent, balanced sound in all circumstances.

The Grand Concert template was customized by Taylor in 1984 to meet the needs of finger-pickers looking for an alternative to the darker, more expansive sounds of Dreadnought or Jumbo formats.
The Grand Concert is a very accessible and endearing instrument, all the more so as its pitch is generally lowered to further optimize grip, complex chords and phrasing.

Thanks to these innovations and to the same impeccable lutherie (Sitka spruce top, Indian rosewood body), the TAYLOR Next Generation 812ce is a remarkable electro-acoustic guitar.
This Grand Concert with Venetian cutaway features an ergonomic soundboard: the area where the forearm rests is beveled for optimum comfort.
This 812ce proves once again that Bob Taylor and his team are at the top of their game.
