Singer-songwriters are often drawn to Taylor's 500 Series, which the 516e Grand Symphony Acoustic-Electric Guitar is a part of, because Tropical mahogany yields its inspiring tone easily, with a breathy mid-range and a wonderful balance of warmth, clarity and complexity. Taylor's larger body shapes (Grand Symphony and Dreadnought models) feature tops of Sitka spruce, while the Grand Auditorium and Grand Concert models sport cedar tops. The refined appointment package features a laser-engraved Deco Diamond inlay scheme, faux tortoise shell binding, and a dark body stain that honors mahogany's enduring heritage.
