Taylor 854ce Next Generation

Taylor are excited to introduce their 2026 Next-Generation Grand Auditorium models, featuring three notable Taylor innovations which reinforce Taylor’s leadership in playability, sonic range, and acoustic amplification: the Action Control Neck, scalloped V-Class bracing, and our all-new Claria System electronics.

The 814ce’s 12-string sibling, the 854ce, is a doublecourse delight, combining our legendary playability with voicing refinements that make this one of the most inspiring 12-string playing experiences available. Between the precise pitch accuracy, articulate note definition, and balanced response across the tonal spectrum, its virtues make it an essential addition to any player’s musical tool kit.

The refined visual appointment package remains unchanged from 2025. Notable details include a rosewood radius armrest, smoky ebony fretboard, maple binding, black/ maple/rosewood top edge trim, a green abalone rosette with rosewood/black/maple purfling, mother-of-pearl Element inlays, a rosewood pickguard, gloss-finish body, smoked nickel tuners and ebony bridge pins with abalone dots.
