Taylor Next Generation 854ce - A New Standard in 12-String Acoustic-Electric Performance
The Taylor Next Generation 854ce marks a bold evolution of one of Taylor's most iconic 12-string models. By pairing newly developed Scalloped V-Class bracing with Taylor's road-ready Claria electronics, this Grand Auditorium delivers a powerful blend of clarity, warmth, and modern acoustic-electric reliability.
At the heart of the 854ce is a classic tonewood pairing: a Sitka spruce top matched with Indian rosewood back and sides. This combination produces lush overtones, expansive projection, and that unmistakable 12-string shimmer across the entire fretboard. The new Scalloped V-Class bracing enhances low-end depth and warmth while retaining the pitch accuracy, balance, and sustain that define Taylor's V-Class design-resulting in a tone that feels both familiar and forward-thinking.
Plug in and the Claria System electronics faithfully translate the guitar's rich acoustic voice with exceptional ease. Designed for true plug-and-play performance, Claria uses a refined under-saddle pickup and powerful preamp to deliver a natural, full sound with minimal adjustment. Soundhole-mounted Volume, Tone, and Mid-Contour controls allow quick, intuitive shaping for any stage or studio environment.
Playability is equally refined. A Standard Carve mahogany neck and Crelicam ebony fingerboard provide a smooth, confident feel, while Taylor's innovative Action Control Neck allows precise adjustment of neck angle with a simple turn of a bolt-no neck removal or string loosening required. This system not only makes setup adjustments effortless, but also enhances tonal depth and long-term serviceability.
Finished with elegant appointments including a radiused rosewood armrest, natural maple binding, and classic Taylor inlays, the Next Generation 854ce balances luxurious aesthetics with serious performance.
Whether you're tracking layered 12-string parts, leading worship, or filling a room as a solo performer, the Taylor Next Generation 854ce delivers expressive tone, modern reliability, and unmistakable Taylor craftsmanship.
