We’ve made the evocative tone of a nylon-string guitar more accessible to steel-string players by crafting our nylon models with signature Taylor playability. The Grand Concert 812ce-N features a 12-fret, 1 7/8-inch neck and a radiused fretboard (20-inch), along with a cutaway and our ES-N® pickup for easy amplified tone. Premium appointments include maple binding, rosewood top edge trim, and Taylor’s Element fretboard inlay in mother-of-pearl.
Grand Concert Shape
A smaller-bodied guitar ideally suited for fingerstyle.
Sitka Spruce Top Woods
The soundboard choice for most guitars, Sitka spruce produces a broad dynamic range and accommodates a versatile range of playing styles.
Indian Rosewood Body Woods
The tonewood superstar. Popular, traditional, and versatile, Bob Taylor puts Indian rosewood among the greatest tonewoods ever.
ES-N Electronics
This under-saddle transducer was designed for Taylor nylon-string models.
Soft Cutaway
Our soft cutaway has a flatter slope than our standard Venetian style.
