No longer available at zZounds
Taylor kicks the 816e up a notch with this release, adding Expression System 2 electronics to enhance the Grand Symphony body shape's deep, rumbling voice.

What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Sitka spruce top Projects rich, crisp and responsive tone
Indian rosewood back and sides Articulate mids, big lows and smooth highs
Ebony fretboard Dark color, tight grain; premium fretboard wood
Taylor Expression System 2 Captures dynamic range of acoustic sound

Slightly bigger than Taylor's Grand Auditorium body style, the Taylor Grand Symphony 816e yields a rich and powerful sound without sacrificing bell-like articulation. It makes a potent strummer, and dynamic finger stylists will enjoy the thick, full-bodied character of the notes. Voicing enhancements include richer tone with more low-end rumble. Premium appointments include maple binding and back strip, rosewood top edge trim, a rosewood pickguard, Element fretboard inlay, smoky ebony fretboard, and Expression System 2 acoustic electronics.
