The total package
Perennially one of Taylor's most popular models, the exquisite 816ce brings together the unmistakeable tone of rosewood and spruce tonewoods, classic Taylor styling, and the versatility of a Grand Auditorium body. A cutaway and Expression System™ electronics complete the perfect picking package.

Gloss
The finish used to create this guitar’s lustrous gloss top, back, and sides was developed at Taylor for maximum durability and resistance to cold-checking. This ultra violet-cured finish is also more environmentally friendly than traditional lacquer finishes.

Taylor Expression System
Designed to faithfully reproduce your guitar’s native tone, the Expression System utilizes patented Dynamic Sensors™ to capture top and string vibration like never before. Created in partnership with renowned audio pioneer Rupert Neve, the Taylor ES is seamlessly integrated into the design of the guitar from the ground up. Onboard tone controls provide added flavor, or set flat for an uncolored, exceptionally clean amplified sound.

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer is the best. If I need it tomorrow, I have it tomorrow. He makes sure everything is in order and that I'm set up right. I've spent a lot of money at other places, too, but I don't remember them calling me to make sure everything's okay.
