Full Description
View Full DescriptionThe 316ce features Taylor's unique Grand Symphony body with cutaway. Introduced in 2006 by Bob Taylor, the Grand Symphony body delivers rich, piano-like bass, a strong midrange and meaty treble frequencies. When flat picked or strummed the guitar delivers an immense volume and projection of sound.
Expression System 2
The Taylor Expression System 2 is a revolutionary pickup design that delivers the latest in Taylor's ongoing innovation in acoustic guitar amplification. The heart of the Expression System 2 is Taylor's proprietary behind-the-saddle pickup, which features three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors. The location of the sensors enables a more dynamic range of acoustic sound to be captured than ever before. Together with Taylor's custom-designed ''professional audio''-grade preamp, this system produces exceptional amplified tone and responsiveness. On stage through a PA, plugged into your favorite acoustic amplifier, or direct into recording software, the Expression System 2 faithfully conveys the voice of your Taylor guitar.
Unique Bracing Pattern
A significant factor behind the incredible sound of the 316ce is the forward shifted bracing pattern with a relief rout. The 'x' in the bracing pattern is moved closer to the sound hole, enabling more of the guitar top to vibrate, delivering maximum tonal quality and projection.
The Perfect Guitar Neck
For ultimate playability and peace of mind, all 300 series guitars feature Taylor's unique NT neck design. The NT neck was designed to give players a straighter, more stable guitar neck, resistant to common problems such as changes in humidity. The neck sits in a custom fit pocket along with laser-cut spacers. There's a perfect neck angle for each Taylor guitar, and these precision spacers create it. Best of all, because there is no glue used in the NT neck design, maintenance and adjustments can be made by trained technicians in a matter of minutes.
Quality You Can Trust
All 300 series guitars include an official Taylor hard case, and customers can benefit from a FREE 12 year Taylor European warranty when registering the guitar at www.taylorguitars.com
