Guitarists who operate in live or recording scenarios will appreciate the ease and adaptability of our new Claria electronics, which boast soundhole mounted controls and an included mid-contour knob that makes it simple to dial in the right sound every time you plug in. The 854ce sports a radius-style rosewood armrest, maple binding with black/maple/rosewood edge trim, a single-ring abalone rosette, Element shell inlays, smoked nickel tuning machines, and a full-body gloss finish.

Features
A Shimmering Grand Auditorium with 12-String Tone to Match

This all-purpose Grand Auditorium 12-string combines classic tonewoods with exceptional playability and stylish visuals.

Grand Auditorium - Our flagship shape offers comfort and cross-genre utility, with a clear, balanced tone suited for both fingerstyle and strumming.

Indian Rosewood Body Wood - The tonewood superstar. Popular, traditional, and versatile, Bob Taylor puts Indian rosewood among the greatest tonewoods ever.

Action Control Neck - Building on Taylor’s legacy of easy-playing necks, the new Action Control Neck pairs a long-tenon joint for added warmth and depth with a patented system for effortless string height adjustment.

Spruce Top Wood - The soundboard choice for most guitars, Sitka spruce produces a broad dynamic range and accommodates a versatile range of playing styles.

Claria Acoustic Pickup System - Designed for reliability and ease of use, the Claria System features a reimagined piezo pickup that delivers clear, versatile acoustic tone for any application.

Venetian Cutaway - The Venetian cutaway is known for its soft, round lines. The sloping peak of the cutaway will vary depending on the shape of the body.

V-Class Bracing - Our patented V-Class bracing is a revolutionary new pattern — a new sonic engine — that marks a major shift away from traditional steel-string bracing patterns.
