Taylor 858e LTD '50th Anniversary' Grand Orchestra 12-String Limited Edition Acoustic Electric Guitar

Available at Acoustic Centre Melbourne

Includes Hardshell Case

The Taylor 858e Grand Orchestra 12-String Limited Edition Acoustic Electric Guitar represents the pinnacle of Taylor craftsmanship, offering both exquisite tonal qualities and stunning aesthetics. Crafted with precision and care, this limited-edition guitar is a true masterpiece for the discerning musician.

Exquisite Tonewoods: The 858e features a solid Sitka spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides, combining brightness and warmth to deliver a rich, balanced tone. These premium tonewoods are carefully selected for their sonic properties, ensuring optimal sound projection and resonance.

Grand Orchestra Body Shape: Taylor's grand orchestra body shape offers unparalleled projection and volume, making it ideal for a wide range of playing styles. With its massive size and solid construction, the 858e produces resounding lows, soaring highs, and a midrange perfect for vocals, providing an immersive playing experience.

V-Class Bracing Innovation: Revolutionizing traditional X-bracing, Taylor's V-Class bracing design enhances volume, sustain, and intonation. By providing stiffness parallel to the strings for rigidity and sustain, while maintaining flexibility for robust projection, V-Class bracing achieves the best of both worlds. This groundbreaking innovation ensures that every note is louder, longer, and more in tune, elevating the overall sonic performance of the guitar.

Taylor Expression System 2 (ES2): Equipped with the Taylor Expression System 2 (ES2) preamp, the 858e delivers exceptional sonic reproduction and versatility when plugged in. The proprietary pickup design, situated behind the saddle, captures the guitar's rich and punchy sound with precision. With individual tone controls and a discreet polarity switch for onboard feedback suppression, the ES2 ensures that you can tailor your sound to perfection, whether performing live or recording in the studio.

Superb Craftsmanship: Meticulously crafted with attention to detail, the 858e features a neo-tropical mahogany neck with a Crelicam ebony fingerboard for optimal playability and comfort. Elegant binding and inlays complement the guitar's aesthetic appeal, while a rosewood comfort bevel enhances the overall playing experience. Each element of the guitar is designed and executed to perfection, resulting in an instrument that feels and sounds exceptional.

Limited Edition: Limited to only 100 units, the Taylor 858e Grand Orchestra 12-String Limited Edition Acoustic Electric Guitar is a rare and coveted instrument that offers unmatched quality and performance. Whether you're a seasoned professional or an aspiring musician, the 858e is sure to inspire creativity and elevate your musical expression to new heights.
