Description

The 812-C was part of Taylor’s 800 series of Grand Concert acoustics and features Indian Rosewood back and sides with a bound Sitka spruce top and a sharp single cutaway body. The body is slightly smaller than a Grand Auditorium but still has a great projection to it. The bound mahogany neck sports an Ebony fingerboard with diamond inlays and measures about 1 25/36th” at the nut. The headstock features gold Grover tuning machines, white binding, and a white Taylor logo. An aftermarket K&K Sound Active Bridge Plate pickup system has been installed, the pre-amp attached with a magnet/Velcro system to the bass side of the soundhole. It sports a simple control, a single slider for volume control and a 9 volt battery compartment that is Velcro-attached inside the body adjacent to the neck on the bass-hand side. The output jack is located in the bottom strap button with a second strap button on the treble hand side of the neck joint. The Ebony bridge and fingerboard give it a nice snappy, clear tone that would make it great for finger style players. It is a very responsive acoustic, cutting through a mix enough for rhythm playing but sensitive enough for quieter strumming. It is in fantastic cosmetic condition with the only visible wear we could find being a small scuff at the top of the headstock. It weighs in at just about 4 lbs 12 ounces. Overall this is a great example of a fine Taylor acoustic with a versatile sound and a beautiful look! Great acoustics like this at this price-point do not stick around for long so don’t dawdle picking up this baby! Includes original hard shell case.
