 Used And Vintage Acoustic Guitars

Available on a great deal now is this astounding Taylor Builder's Edition 816ce,  This is a beautiful Grand Symphony body shape that features lovingly crafted contours, an expansive acoustic tone with player-focused enhancements. 

This incredible acoustic guitar features Indian rosewood back and sides paired with a Lutz spruce top, offering all the low-end warmth and sparkle you’d expect from the classic rosewood/spruce combination with additional bloom and resonance added by V-Class bracing. But this Builder’s Edition model truly shines in the details, starting with its most significant innovation: the soundport cutaway. Crafted to resemble a partial Florentine cutaway, the design keeps the guitar’s full back intact while still allowing easy access to the high-register frets. The additional sound hole adds a truly new dimension of acoustic sound, creating a wide-angle sound that would fit as well in a classical orchestra as it would a rock band or a fingerstyle solo act.

Further features include figured maple binding with chamfered edges and rosewood edge trim, a single-ring rosette in green abalone, Windansea inlays in shell and mother-of-pearl, and ultra-precise Gotoh 510 tuners in antique gold. Don't forget it is an acoustic electric with its ES2 electronics in a deluxe Taylor hardshell case.

The Builder's Edition 816ce is in excellent condition.  It's never been previously owned; it was used as a demo piece, and now here for you on a great deal.  The guitar has been setup to play perfectly by the techs in our shop.  At this price, and amazing score!
