TAYLOR 858E 12-STRING 50TH ANN W/CASE

50th Anniversary 858e LTD

Embodying our commitment to making the most playable 12-strings, the 50th Anniversary 858e LTD combines an inviting handfeel with a rich, powerful “wall-of-sound” voice. This limited-edition acousticelectric pairs Indian rosewood back and sides with a Sitka spruce top in the form of our big-bodied Grand Orchestra — which harkens back to the classic rosewood/spruce jumbo 12-strings of Taylor’s early years. Of course, this edition boasts modern design elements like our V-Class voicing architecture, which levels up the volume, sustain, pitch accuracy and touch sensitivity. Our double-mounted string anchoring system (featuring a shared anchor point for each string pairing) helps maintain a consistent string break angle over the saddle for optimal tonal balance in the voicing. Together with the rosewood/spruce pairing, players will love the deep, shimmering, highfidelity 12-string sound. Clean visual appointments include a three-ring green abalone rosette, mother-of-pearl Progressive Diamond fretboard inlays, white binding with black and white top purfling, a faux-tortoise pickguard, and Taylor Gold mini tuning machines. Special 50th anniversary touches include gold acrylic dots in the ebony bridge pins and a commemorative guitar label. The guitar includes onboard ES2 electronics and ships in a beautiful deluxe Western Floral hardshell case.
