Taylor 516ce Grand Symphony Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Main
Taylor 516ce Grand Symphony Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Main
Think of an even grander Grand Auditorium, and you get an idea of the Taylor 516ce Grand Symphony: an acoustic-electric guitar with a rich, powerful tone.

What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Grand Symphony body shape Robust, strong bass balanced by clear articulation
Mahogany back and sides Dry and airy tone; clear, present midrange
Engelmann spruce top Aged tone, mellow but strong midrange
Taylor Expression System pickups Innovative multiple pickup system on-board

Singer-songwriters are often drawn to the Taylor 516ce Grand Symphony Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar because mahogany yields its inspiring tone easily, with a breathy midrange and a wonderful balance of warmth, clarity and complexity. The 516ce's large Grand Symphony body features a top of solid Sitka spruce. The refined appointment package features a laser-engraved Deco Diamond inlay scheme, faux tortoise shell binding, and a dark body stain that honors mahogany's enduring heritage.

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I purchased this guitar as a blemished item. The only blemish I could find was possibly on the headstock. I highly recommend purchasing an instrument from ZZounds. I have purchased several blemised or open box items and have never been disappointed. Extremely pleased with my purchase.
