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

Grand Symphony - This strong Taylor strummer produces a rich, bold voice.

Indian Rosewood - The tonewood superstar. Popular, traditional, and versatile, Bob Taylor puts Indian rosewood among the greatest tonewoods ever.

Lutz Spruce - This natural hybrid of Sitka and White spruce also shares characteristics with Adirondack spruce, responding with power, richness and volume.

Expression System 2 - The Expression System 2 captures more of a guitar's dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.

V-Class Bracing - Taylor's patented V-Class bracing is a revolutionary new pattern - a new sonic engine - that marks a major shift away from traditional steel-string bracing patterns.
