Taylors top-of-the-line Grand Symphony is truly a masterwork.
The Taylor 916ce Grand Symphony is a cutaway acoustic-electric guitar that features the classic Sitka
spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides that produce clarity, balance, sustain, excellent bass response, and wonderful
coloration. The Taylor 916ce Grand Symphony is adorned with pearl 900 series fingerboard inlays, ivoroid binding, and an abalone
rosette. Equipped with Taylor Expression System electronics and a Venetian cutaway that gives full fretboard access, the 916ce
has the tools to shine in any music venue.
Taylor's rarest, high-grade Indian rosewood is reserved for our 900 Series®.
In fact, every material used on these guitars is premium quality, from the hand-selected Sitka spruce tops to the iridescent
pieces of abalone used for the inlay work to the elegant Gotoh tuners. The 900 Series guitars are true Taylor masterworks.
Though
you might see similarities to a Grand Auditorium, The Grand Symphony is unique in both sound and shape. Significant changes
in its geometry yield a deeper more piano-like bass. A wider lower bout and higher, wider waist return ample volume and low-end
sustain in symphony with fuller mids and balanced highs.
Designed to faithfully reproduce your guitar's native tone,
the Expression System utilizes patented Dynamic Sensors to capture top and string vibration like never before. Created in
partnership with renowned audio pioneer, Rupert Neve, the Taylor ES is seamlessly integrated into the design of the guitar
from the ground up. Onboard tone controls provide added flavor, or set flat for an uncolored, exceptionally clean amplified
sound.
The finish used to create the Taylor 916ce guitar's lustrous gloss top, back, and sides was developed at Taylor
for maximum durability and resistance to cold-checking. This ultraviolet-cured finish is also more environmentally friendly
than traditional lacquer finishes.
