From Taylor Guitars
This gorgeous acoustic-electric guitar combines premium tone woods with masterful design and craftsmanship for a stunning instrument that's a joy to play. The 816ce features a solid Sitka spruce top, Indian rosewood back and sides, a tropical American mahogany neck, and an ebony fretboard for amazingly rich tone and great looks. The cutaway Grand Symphony body style makes this instrument very comfortable to play, while Taylor's combination of woods, construction, and Expression System 2 electronics make this 816ce bloom with tone, onstage or off.
A classic tone woods combination - Sitka spruce and Indian rosewood
Nothing beats the sound of real rosewood topped with spruce - and that's exactly what you get with the Taylor 816ce. It features a beautiful Sitka spruce top, which gives you wonderful projection and the perfect amount of sparkle. Add to that the balanced tone and astonishing projection of the 816ce's Indian rosewood back and sides, and you have a guitar with timeless tone.
Grand Symphony body style gives you balanced sound and incredible projection
Taylor's Grand Symphony body style, featured on the 816ce, is a more modern take on the sleek Grand Auditorium shape, but with the waist moved up toward the neck. This gives the guitar a slightly larger lower bout, and gives you an excellent blend of power and projection, without losing the high-end definition that's a hallmark of the Grand Auditorium body style.
