Taylor 616ce - Brown Sugar Stain

Big Grand Orchestra Tone!

Taylor's 616ce cutaway acoustic-electric guitar embodies a superb blend of classic tonewoods and modern electronics. With it, you get a gorgeous, solid Sitka spruce top with Big Leaf maple back and sides, ensuring excellent tone when unplugged. Taylor also added their renowned Taylor Expression 2 electronics system, which makes the Taylor 616ce ripe for stage use as well. The Grand Symphony body style perfectly compliments the selection of tonewoods, adding powerful projection and a natural treble emphasis to the Taylor 616ce acoustic-electric guitar.

• Choice tonewoods - Sitka spruce meets Big Leaf maple
• Grand Symphony body style gives you balanced sound and incredible projection
• Taylor Expression System 2 electronics deliver superior sound onstage

The 616ce 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, and the 616ce's Big Leaf maple back and sides give it an extra bright and snappy tone.

Taylor's Grand Symphony body style, featured on the 616ce, is a more modern take on the sleek Grand Auditorium shape, but with the waist moved up toward the neck. This gives the Taylor 616ce 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. At Sweetwater we love expressive and toneful acoustic guitars, and the Taylor 616ce acoustic-electric definitely fits that bill.

If you play plugged in, then you're going to love the Taylor Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics built into your 616ce acoustic-electric guitar. The key to this fantastic system is the 3-section proprietary pickup located behind the saddle. Because of where it's positioned and how it's integrated into the Taylor 616ce's saddle, the ES2 pickup provides you with remarkably clear and accurate sound. In addition to a master volume control, a pair of tone controls let you tweak your highs and lows to get the sound you need, and a discreet phase switch offers vital onboard feedback suppression.
