The Taylor 858e 50th Anniversary Limited Edition is a testament to Taylor's dedication to creating highly playable 12-string guitars. This special acoustic-electric model features Indian rosewood back and sides paired with a Sitka spruce top, crafted in Taylor's Grand Orchestra body shape. This combination draws inspiration from the classic rosewood/spruce jumbo 12-strings of Taylor's early years, offering a rich, powerful sound.
One of the standout features of this model is the V-Class voicing architecture. This modern design enhances volume, sustain, pitch accuracy, and touch sensitivity, providing a superior playing experience. Additionally, the double-mounted string anchoring system, with a shared anchor point for each string pairing, ensures a consistent string break angle over the saddle, optimising tonal balance. This results in the deep, shimmering, high-fidelity 12-string sound that players will love.
The neck is crafted from smooth mahogany and features a Crelicam ebony fretboard with a 25.5" scale length and 1 7/8" nut width, ensuring a comfortable and precise playing experience. The guitar is visually striking with its three-ring green abalone rosette, mother-of-pearl Progressive Diamond fretboard inlays, white binding with black and white top purfling, 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 Taylor 858e also features onboard ES2 electronics for excellent amplified sound and comes in a deluxe Western Floral hardshell case for protection and style. This limited-edition guitar is a perfect blend of tradition and innovation, designed to celebrate Taylor's legacy while offering modern playability and sound quality.
