The Taylor 716ce Grand Symphony Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar combines the time-honored tone of an Indian rosewood/Western Red Cedar. This pairing is the mainstay of nearly every high-end guitar builder. Taylor sources the finest quality of each wood to deliver the player all the clarity, sustain, and bass response one would expect from this classic combination. Equipped with the Taylor Expression System and cutaway, the 716ce has the tools to shine in any music venue. Though you might see similarities to a Grand Auditorium, The Grand Symphony is unique in both sound and shape. Significant changes in its geometry yield a deeper more piano like bass. A wider lower bout and higher, wider waist return ample volume and low-end sustain in symphony with fuller mids and balanced highs. Designed to faithfully reproduce your guitar's native tone, the Expression System utilizes patented Dynamic Sensors to capture top and string vibration like never before.
