This lovingly contoured Builder's Edition model builds on the long heritage of Taylor’s 800 Series, offering an experience that matches exceptional playability with a singular acoustic voice. Honduran rosewood—a denser, harder variant of the species typically used for the back and sides of the flagship model—yields a beautifully balanced response with a harmonically complex overtone profile, while the sinker redwood top delivers cedar-like warmth and remarkable soft-touch sensitivity.

Inside, Taylor’s V-Class bracing architecture dials up more volume, longer sustain, and improved tunefulness all the way up the neck. Comfort-enhancing touches include a beveled mahogany armrest that provides a smooth surface for the strumming arm and a beveled cutaway that accommodates the fretting hand as players access the guitar's highest register. Chamfered body edges and a smooth Curve Wing bridge complete the seamless experience, creating an intimate feel that softens the boundary between player and guitar.

Other details include Gotoh 510 tuning machines with an ultra-precise 18:1 gear ratio, Element fretboard inlays in shell and mother-of-pearl, and a gloss finish with a shaded edgeburst treatment.
