Lovies Guitars is excited to offer up this 2014 Taylor 816ce 1st Edition Natural Acoustic/ Electric Jumbo Guitar! This gorgeous acoustic-electric guitar combines premium tonewoods with masterful design and craftsmanship for a stunning instrument that’s a joy to play. The 816ce features a solid Sitka spruce top, Indian rosewood back and sides, a tropical American mahogany neck, and an ebony fretboard for amazingly rich tone and great looks. The cutaway Grand Symphony body style makes this instrument very comfortable to play, while Taylor’s combination of woods, construction, and Expression System 2 electronics make this 816ce bloom with tone, onstage or off.
Nothing beats the sound of real rosewood topped with spruce – and that’s exactly what you get with the Taylor 816ce. It features a beautiful Sitka spruce top, which gives you wonderful projection and the perfect amount of sparkle. Add to that the balanced tone and astonishing projection of the 816ce’s Indian rosewood back and sides, and you have a guitar with timeless tone.
Taylor’s Grand Symphony body style, featured on the 816ce 2014 1st Edition, is a more modern take on the sleek Grand Auditorium shape, but with the waist moved up toward the neck. This gives the guitar a slightly larger lower bout, and gives you an excellent blend of power and projection, without losing the high-end definition that’s a hallmark of the Grand Auditorium body style.
If you play plugged in, then you’re going to love the Taylor Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics built into your 816ce. 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 816ce’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. This guitar is in fair shape with several indents and marks, pick marks, hardware tarnish, buckle wear and checking on the top and a broken case latch, rated at 7/10. Had a heel repair, crack at the cutaway, crack on the bass side edge body and crack across the bottom edge by output. Included with this guitar is an original hard-shell case, a complimentary sample of Fret-Not, our preferred fretboard cleaner, check it out at fretnot.net and a complimentary Cooper Standard Fin guitar pick—our favorite for enhanced control and reduced movement! Thank you for considering this exceptional instrument from Lovies Guitars.
