    The Taylor 854ce acoustic electric 12 string is the flagship 12 string acoustic electric guitar in the new line up of grand auditorium 12 string models featuring all solid tonewoods. The 854ce is the perfect companion to the iconic 814ce acoustic electric six string. The 854ce employs Taylor’s Grand Auditorium body shape, the most versatile body shape in the Taylor lineup.

     

    The Taylor 854ce features all solid Indian Rosewood with solid Sitka Spruce top, West African Ebony fingerboard and bridge, single ring ab rosette with maple binding, hard rock maple binding on the body, neck and bridge, smoked nickel mini tuners, and award winning stage and recording ready ES2 electronics. The solid Indian Rosewood back and sides give the player plenty of bass response, top end clarity and a nice scooped out midrange. The solid Sitka Spruce top gives the player more flexibility and greater frequency range.

     

    The 854ce features V class bracing, performance enhancing wood thickness and finish thickness modifications to deliver an amazing level of sustain, projection, and tonal accuracy. The patented Taylor neck joint ensures optimum playability and intonation. The 854ce ships in a Taylor Deluxe Hardshell Case.

     

    Rosewood & Spruce: an All-Time Great Tonewood Pairing

    Bob Taylor’s favorite tonewood pairing yields clear, chime-like trebles and a resonant low end around a slightly scooped midrange, serving up a broad spectrum of sound while leaving room in the mix for vocals and other instruments.

     

    Classic Tonewoods Elevated for Sound, Style and Comfort

    Ultra-thin gloss finishes ensure optimal resonance, and V-Class bracing delivers a boost to volume and sustain in all full-size steel-string models.

     

    Expression System 2 Acoustic Pickup

    Our ES2 under-saddle pickup and preamp translate the overtone-rich sound of 800 Series guitars into detailed, natural-sounding amplified tone, making it easy to plug in and play anywhere you go.

     

    Spotlight-Worthy Aesthetic Appointments

    Standard appointments include a smoky ebony fretboard and peghead veneer, ebony bridge and bridge pins, maple binding, and peghead purfling, rosewood edge trim, an abalone rosette, a full-body gloss finish and Element inlays in mother-of-pearl.

     

    Hardshell Case Included with Every Guitar

    Each model in the 800 Series, from the compact 812ce to the big, bold 818e, includes a fitted deluxe hardshell case to protect your guitar from impact damage and the effects of local climate.
