With a 316ce, you get a gorgeous solid Sitka spruce top complemented by a sapele back and sides. You'll love the way this guitar sounds unplugged, but it also comes loaded with Taylor's Expression System electronics, so it also sounds fantastic when you plug in onstage. And thanks to its Grand Symphony body style, the 316ce provides you with both an excellent tonal balance and powerful projection. If you're looking for an acoustic guitar that's ready for any playing style or venue, the Taylor 316ce is a great choice!Taylor 316ce Acoustic-electric Guitar at a Glance:
Choice tonewoods - Sitka spruce meets Sapele The 316ce, is a prime example of the high-quality tonewoods Taylor selects for their guitars. It features time-proven Sitka spruce as its top, which gives you wonderful projection with the perfect amount of sparkle. The 316ce's Sapele back and sides also give it warm and mellow quality, similar to that of mahogany, providing it with an all-around balanced tone. Grand Symphony body style gives you balanced sound and incredible projection Taylor's Grand Symphony body style, featured on the 316ce, is a more modern take on the sleek Grand Auditorium shape, but with the waist moved up toward the neck. This give the 316ce a slightly larger lower bout, giving you an excellent blend of power and projection, without loosing the high-end definition of the Grand Auditorium body style. Renowned Taylor Expression System electronics Designed to faithfully reproduce your guitar's native tone, the Taylor 316ce's Expression System uses patented Dynamic Sensors to capture both top and string vibration with incredible detail. The Taylor ES system was created in partnership with renowned audio pioneer Rupert Neve. Unlike standard onboard electronics, the Taylor Expression System is seamlessly integrated into the design of the 316ce from the ground up. Onboard tone controls provide added flavor, or can be set flat for an uncolored, exceptionally clean amplified sound. Taylor 316ce Acoustic-electric Guitar Features:

April 15, 2013 Music Background: Hobbyist More Than a Feeling---Taylor 316ce
by Christopher from Boston
The 316ce is an amazing guitar. I bought my Taylor 316ce Black Friday and I have been playing it ever since.January 15, 2013 Music Background: Returning Guitarist I use to play the guitar and take lessons as a kid, and I am now getting bac... read more [+]k into it. After testing out guitars over time, I had decided I wanted a 314ce because of the Taylor sound and the 300 series are all wood. On the day I was to order the 314ce, I saw the 316ce also on the web site. I didn't know anything about the 316ce and I immediately researched blogs online, youtube, etc... and learned a great deal about the Grand Symphony shape which was now available in the 300 series. From everything I heard, it sounded like it could the "guit" for me. I purchased the 316 with the faith that Taylor would deliver, and they absolutely have. For those considering the 316, It has medium strings, a deeper base, and it really responds to strumming, I love it. The *16 shape is only slightly larger than the *14. And to me barely noticeable, I had tested out various Taylor's. *16 and *14 side by side at the local shop several times. Also, I am 6'2, have big hands, I really like the 1.75 nut as well. When I pick up acoustics at the local shops I am usually disappointed in comparison now that I have found such a good friend in the 316ce. 5 Stars for Sweetwater Service As Well close [-] Great all around Guitar

I was looking for a guitar to play out with. I was replacing a Taylor 410ce that I had.

Because I liked the more defined sound of the bottom and mids of the 314, but the top end was a little more forward than I would like. Where the 414 has a nice balance on top,but The Ovengol gives the bottom a woolly un- defined sound to me. But not as much boom as the 410 had. And then Along comes the 316ce, to save the day. This guitar has a more uniform balance form top to bottom than either the 410,314 or 414. I would describe The character of the 316 as rich and full bottom and mids with a real sweet top end. This coming from a guitar that plays loud easily. But lighten up and the 316 is good with delicate finger style playing as well. though I notice the Medium strings playing finger style. And the the GS body shape is more comfortable then the dreadnought body shape. Though the GA body shape of the X14's is still my favorite. March 3, 2012 Music Background: Hobbyist In conclusion I find the 316 to be a well rounded guitar that does many things well. I will still use my 514ce for finger style but if I am out with the 316 and the mood strikes me, I will be right at home. close [-] A Singer/Songwriters Dream
by Adam Lee (Sundae Drives) from Cincinnati, OH
As a performer you are in constant pursuit of that perferct marriage between you & your instrument...Until you find it - My new partner in crime is the 316 & there arent enough adjectives to describe ... read more [+]the way I feel about how this guitar plays/sounds. Theres just something about the Taylor tone & with the Grand symphony body style available now, I beleive without a doubt that this is the new standout guitar of the 3 series. This guitar came with a virtually perfect setup, its loud & impressive but you wont get the full gist of this thing until you PLUG IT IN...Youll be glad you spent every dollar. Unplugged it will outshine anything, the only reason that I gave it 4.5 stars is because the bottom end is rich but not bold, wich are what Taylor are known for anyways (with the shimmering highs & mids), it doesnt matter once you plug in the electronics can be managed to do whatever. I write all my material on straight acoustic Seagulls & other Godin family guitars & when its showtime I play Martin (never again) but, now with the 316 I cant stop writing, Im on creative overflow. This guitar makes you sound better than you sound if that makes scense. Its a modern guitar & you will not be able to take it out of its comfort zone, it plays ANYTHING. Last but not least a shoutout to my incredible service/sales rep Keith. It was the best purchase ever due to the guitar but its true what the say about Sweetwater & their service & its a big plus when someone cares about your satisfaction the way these people do. Rich & smooth lows, loud & pronounced mids, sparkling & dream-like highs, & the best electronics Ive ever heard on any guitar ever...So yea...A singer/songwriters dream close [-]
