Description
From Our Catalog
Taylor's second offering in Indian rosewood, the 800 Series traces its roots to the earliest Taylors. Bob Taylor’s latest design changes speak of traditional lutherie in the form of hand-set, figured maple binding. It’s a gorgeous upgrade that complements the beautiful hues of rosewood and sparkling inlay work. For many, the 800 Series is a true Taylor icon.

The Taylor 816CE is a classic Sitka/rosewood combo that casts a commanding presence as a Grand Syphony guitar. It's cutaway makes the Taylor ES prime for every type of playing.
