Sound Pure's Take

Conditon: Used, Very Good

A jumbo that dares you to strum it aggressively.

With a cutaway blazing a path to the upper registers and the benefit of a Baggs Element opening all the tonal gates, the Taylor 815ce has a potential for music-making that is almost limitless. Sitka spruce was born to handle the heaviest strumming, yet the soundboard allows for the finest articulation and lead work.
