Introducing the new 812ce next generation acoustic electric guitar from Taylor Guitars. The 812ce is the flagship grand concert model in the Taylor line up, embracing the classic rosewood and spruce combination in an elegant, understated maple binding with a remarkably comfortable radius armrest. New refinements for 2026 make this iconic instrument more compelling than ever. The guitar starts with all solid woods consisting of Indian Rosewood for the back and sides, and Sitka Spruce for the top. This classic tone wood combination gives the player plenty of bass and top end response with a nice, scooped out midrange. The extra thin finish allows the guitar to project and more accurately reflect the players style. The Grand Concert body shape is the most comfortable body shape in the Taylor line up.

Whether you're playing fingerstyle or recording in the studio or playing on stage or on the couch, the Grand Concert body shape is easy to play, fits in the sonic mix wonderfully, has a 24 7/8" scale for easier execution of challenging chords and can be played for a extended period of time more easily than larger guitar sizes.

New for this model for 2026 are three major, game changing innovations. Action Control Neck. A new, long tenon neck joint design that not only improves tone and sustain but allows a qualified technician to adjust the neck angle in seconds with the strings still on and the guitar under tension. The result? The ability to set up the guitar for individual playing… read more styles like never before. Scalloped V Class Bracing. With changes to the internal architecture, the guitar now brings more low end and bloom to the table while embracing all sustain and intonation benefits of the original V Class bracing system. And finally, Claria pick up system, a revolutionary active pick up system that redefines acoustic amplified tone with a proprietary high definition, active high fidelity pre amp and under the saddle pick up system.

Simply put, the most plug and play pick up system with volume, tone, and contour shaping soundhole controls to achieve the ultimate amplified acoustic sound. The new for 2026 next generation 812ce features an extra thin all gloss finish on the body, element mother of pearl fretboard and peghead inlays, 24 78" scale length, venetian cutaway, maple binding with a rosewood radius armrest, rosewood pickguard, and ships in a deluxe hard shell case.
