Taylor 316ce 2012 Spring LTD Acoustic-Electric Guitar (with Case)

The Taylor 316ce 2012 Spring LTD Acoustic-Electric Guitar is the ultimate strummer's guitar. With beautiful sapele back and sides and a Sitka spruce top, the 316ce acoustic is a visually stunning instrument with a big, bold tone thanks to Taylor's Grand Symphony body shape, and a crisp and complex voice thanks to its resonant tonewoods.

Grand Symphony Body

The Grand Symphony shape of the 316ce 2012 Spring LTD edition acoustic delivers Taylor's boldest, richest acoustic voice. Think of it as a Grand Auditorium with a turbo boost, thanks to expanded physical dimensions, including a slightly wider waist and a bigger lower bout. Strummers and pickers with a driving attack will love the fullness, volume and sustain. The big voice doesn't come at the expense of balance. The piano-like bass, meaty midrange, and thick, shimmering highs blend seamlessly.

Expression System

Taylor's ground-breaking Expression System (ES) was designed to naturally amplify the warm acoustic sound of your guitar. The ES is an all-magnetic acoustic guitar pickup system that works like a microphone to produce a pure signal and a warm, natural acoustic sound. When you plug in, you'll hear the sound of your guitar, not the sound of the pickup. No complicated controls. No tone simulators. Just a clean amplified acoustic guitar sound supported by simple volume, bass and treble controls.
