From the flagship 814ce to its Builder’s Edition counterparts to the revolutionary Gold Label collection, the 800 Series is such an enduring part of our heritage that it has evolved beyond our standard series and into other collections.

Taylor’s quintessential family of premium rosewood/spruce guitars is now more diverse than ever thanks to several new additions that promise evolution not just within this series, but throughout our entire lineup.

Inspiration begins with the 814ce, the flagship Grand Auditorium that has stood the test of time thanks to its versatility and remarkably clear, high-fidelity voice. We’re thrilled to announce the return of the 12-string Grand Auditorium 854ce, which blends a lush overtone profile with gorgeous octave sparkle. Those who favor the comfort and articulation of a smaller body are sure to love the Grand Concert 812ce or its nylon-string counterpart. Alternatively, try the 812ce 12-Fret for an even more intimate playing experience. All standard 800 Series models feature a rosewood radius-style armrest that provides a smooth surface for your strumming arm.
