Taylor Next Generation 854ce Natural

The Taylor Next Generation 854ce Natural represents the evolution of Taylors flagship 12-string Grand Auditorium, blending refined craftsmanship with meaningful performance updates for modern players. Built around Taylors versatile GA body shape, this model delivers a full, harmonically rich octave voice while maintaining balance, clarity, and exceptional playability.

Together, these refinements enhance tonal warmth, sustain, pitch accuracy, and amplified performance, making the 854ce equally at home on stage, in the studio, or in a songwriting setting.
