Overview
858e LTD
One of our first 12-string guitars built with V-Class bracing in the Grand Orchestra body shape, the 858e LTD is an acoustic-electric featuring back and sides of solid Indian rosewood paired with a Sitka spruce top, yielding a rich octave shimmer with warm lows, crisp trebles and a slightly scooped midrange. With V-Class bracing inside, the jumbo-style body delivers room-filling volume without losing clarity or balance, retaining a dynamic response to a soft touch that pairs beautifully with the complex overtone profile of the rosewood/spruce construction. This limited-edition model boasts a comfort-enhancing radius-style armrest along with the slender Taylor neck for an ultra-relaxed feel despite the larger body. Appointments include maple binding, a single-ring abalone rosette, mother-of-pearl Element fretboard inlays, a gloss-finish body, and a rosewood pickguard. This model ships with a deluxe hardshell case with a Western Floral pattern.
