A classic tonewoods 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 give the 816ce a slightly larger lower bout, giving you an excellent blend of power and projection, without losing the high-end definition of the Grand Auditorium body style.

Taylor Expression System electronics provide amazing sound when you play plugged in
Designed to faithfully reproduce your guitar's native tone, the Taylor 816ce'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 816ce from the ground up. Onboard tone controls provide added flavor, or can be set flat for an uncolored, exceptionally clean amplified sound.
