The Taylor 811e incorporates the appointment characteristics of the 800 Series in a Grand Theater shape. The 811e offers all the tone of a full-sized, solid-wood instrument in a comfortable mid-sized shape between a Taylor GS Mini and a Grand Concert, but with a more modern set of proportions. The guitar is easy to hold, easy to get around and incredibly comfortable to play. A revolutionary C-Class bracing pattern works in unison with the solid-wood Sitka spruce top and East Indian rosewood back and sides to generate a tone that is bold and powerful. A shorter 24.125" scale length provides a lower string tension with a silky feeling that allows your fingers to glide up and down the ebony fretboard with ease. The 811e comes complete with mother-of-pearl fingerboard inlays, a sleek gloss finish and a convenient AeroCase.
