LIMITED EDITION !!! The first V-Class Grand Orchestra 12-String !!
With its generous contours, powerful sound and remarkable touch sensitivity, Taylor’s new 858e LTD adds another memorable benchmark in Taylor’s enduring heritage of rich-voiced, ultra-playable 12-strings. This Grand Orchestra 12-string acoustic-electric features back and sides of solid Indian rosewood paired with a Sitka spruce top, powered by our tone-boosting V-Class bracing architecture, yielding a rich octave shimmer with warm lows, crisp trebles and a slightly scooped midrange. The jumbo-style body shape delivers room-filling volume without losing clarity or balance, retaining a dynamic response to a soft touch that pairs beautifully with the blooming overtone profile of the rosewood/spruce construction. This limited-edition model boasts a comfort-enhancing radius-style armrest along with the slender Taylor neck, giving players an ultra-relaxed feel despite the large body.
Visual appointments include maple binding and top purfling with rosewood edge trim, a single-ring abalone rosette and matching Element fretboard inlays, a 4.5-mil gloss-finish body to preserve resonance, smoked nickel tuners, and a rosewood pickguard. The 858e LTD ships with ES2 electronics and a deluxe Western Floral hardshell case.

The very first 12-String model introduced with the newly revoiced Grand Orchestra body shape, the 858e establishes a new style of bold, powerful acoustic tone within the Taylor line. Solid rosewood back and sides lend this big-bodied powerhouse a huge voice while a solid Sitka spruce top adds brilliance and clarity. Warm lows, pristine trebles and lush blooming overtones. The transformative introduction of V-Class bracing into the Grand Orchestra body offers players a more robust, vivid tonal response, with greater volume and sustain alongside heightened clarity and musicality that make this model even more player-reflective and a versatile choice for musicians across styles. The touch-sensitive response balances out serious headroom and projection so that players can explore a wide dynamic range without losing balance or fading out of a mix. Appointments for this 800 Series model include maple binding with koa purfling, a single-ring paua rosette, mother-of-pearl Element inlay and a gloss finish. To preserve the traditional look and feel of this jumbo-style guitar, we’ve chosen to build it without a cutaway. The 858e ships with ES2 electronics in a deluxe Western Floral hardshell case.
