Taylor 800 Series | Builder's Edition 816ce
Solid Lutz Spruce Top, Solid Indian Rosewood Back & Sides
The first guitar to feature Taylor's updated Grand Symphony body shape, the Builder's Edition 816ce introduces a fresh sound and style to the Taylor line. Made with solid Indian rosewood back and sides, a Lutz spruce top, and V-Class bracing, this acoustic-electric boasts a soundport cutaway, which leaves the back of the guitar intact for maximum resonance while allowing sound to disperse in an immersive, wide-angle way. The result is a surround-sound experience characterised by warm, sparkling tone that balances clarity and power, one that performs as well in solo settings as it does in larger groups. Finished off with chamfered edges and built-in ES2 electronics, the Builder's Edition 816ce serves up a truly unique musical experience.
- Builder's Edition guitar loaded with comfort features
- Redesigned Grand Symphony body for big, bold voice
- Solid Indian rosewood & spruce produces depth and clarity
- Soundport cutaway for immersive, symphonic response
- Includes ES2 pickup and deluxe hardshell case
- Responsibly Sourced Materials
