Gear Hunter

*Hardcase included. This guitar is used, and shows signs of regular play such as very small divets along the lower body.*

Players who crave a huge, "wall-of-sound" 12-string voice will love the 858e. The big-bodied rosewood/spruce Grand Orchestra serves up a rich and powerful sound, yet also responds well to a lighter attack, putting tremendous dynamic range at the player's fingertips. Together with the other tone-enhancing attributes of Taylor's 800 Series - protein glues, thin finish, optimized wood thicknesses and more - lively strummers will have no problem making their voice heard. Taylors Expression System 2 electronics will bring all that lush sonic detail into an amplified setting.

Features:
* Grand Orchestra Body Shape: Taylor's biggest body shape blends power, detail and balance across the tonal spectrum.
* Sitka Spruce Top Wood: The soundboard choice for most guitars, Sitka spruce produces a broad dynamic range and accommodates a versatile range of playing styles.
* Indian Rosewood Body Wood: The tonewood superstar. Popular, traditional, and versatile, Bob Taylor puts Indian rosewood among the greatest tonewoods ever.
* Expression System 2 Electronics: The Expression System 2 captures more of a guitar's dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.
* Non-cutaway: The clean, symmetrical look of a traditional acoustic guitar.
