I found this today:
They have four body sizes.
Dreadnoughts end in "0"; grand concerts in "2"; grand auditoriums in "4"; and jumbos in "5".
An 810 would be a deluxe rosewood dreadnought 6-string. If the middle number is 5, like 850, then the guitar is a 12-string.
The basic Taylors have a model mumber xyy, with an extra C if they are cutaways (with variants for 12 strings).
x = 4,5,6,7,8 or 9
4yy lower priced line, mostly matte (as opposed to glossy) finish
5yy mahogony sides and back
6yy maple sides and back
7yy rosewood sides and back
8yy fancier rosewood sides and back, more inlays, etc...
9yy fanciest series rosewood limited production
yy = 10 Dreadnought
yy = 12 Grand Concert
yy = 15 Jumbo
yy = 55 12 String

If only I had a taylor...
The first time I heard a Beatles song was "Let It Be." Some little kid was singing along with it: "Let it pee, let it pee" and pretending he was taking a leak. Hey, that's what happened, OK?-some guy

Hey Nick, wanted to throw this in as well...
I have a 2000 Taylor 310 (lefty) that I got, and if you look into the soundhole, you can also get a lot of info as well...from their site...
*From 1993 until the end of 1999, each Taylor guitar featured a nine-digit serial number that precisely pinpoints when work was begun on that guitar. (As of 2000, the serial number expanded to 11 digits to accommodate the four-digit year designation.) Reading left to right, the first two digits (or four starting in 2000) represent the year; the second pair of digits represents the month; and the third pair of digits represents the calendar day that work was begun. The seventh digit indicates whether the guitar is a 300 or 400 series ("0") or a higher series ("1"); and the last two digits denote the guitar's position in that day's production sequence.
