Description taken from Taylor - "The Taylor 816ce Builder's Edition is a high-end acoustic-electric guitar that offers a unique, immersive "surround-sound" playing experience thanks to innovative design features like its soundport cutaway and V-Class bracing.
Key Features & Innovations
Soundport Cutaway: A distinctive partial Florentine cutaway on the treble side includes a secondary soundhole (soundport) which disperses sound in a wide, immersive way for the player, creating an almost symphonic sonic experience without sacrificing the back's structural integrity or high-fret access.
V-Class Bracing: This revolutionary internal architecture boosts volume, extends sustain, and improves the intonation across the entire fretboard, ensuring notes are purer and more in tune with each other than with traditional X-bracing.
Premium Tonewoods: The guitar pairs a solid Lutz spruce top (known for broad dynamic range and crisp articulation) with solid Indian rosewood back and sides (offering rich lows and sparkling highs) to create a versatile and powerful voice.
Enhanced Playability: Designed for comfort, it features chamfered body and fretboard edges, a smooth Silent Satin finish that reduces playing noise, a comfortable 24-7/8" scale length, and light-gauge strings, making it easier to fret and play.
Cutting-Edge Electronics: Equipped with Taylor's patented Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics, featuring three uniquely positioned behind-the-saddle sensors, it provides a clear, accurate, and responsive amplified sound for live performance or recording"
