800 series is on Taylor`s site advertised as the flagship line of the main acoustic-electric catalog. This is both true and not true, as the bespoke 900 series is still listed among the standard series despite its almost full-fledged custom shop status and price policy (900s start at $4,899). 856ce is one of two active 800 series` twelve-stringers (along with 858e). It starts at $3,899 and comes only in Natural (gloss finish, nickel hardware, maple binding). The main features include an all-solid grand symphony body (Indian rosewood back/sides, Sitka spruce top, abalone rosette), a mahogany neck (14th fret dovetail joint, satin finish), an ebony fingerboard (20 frets, Element inlays, 1.875" nut, 25.5" scale), an ebony bridge, ES2 electronics, and Taylor tuners.
