"Slightly bigger than a grand auditorium, the grand symphony boasts a bigger bottom end, and a new ported cutaway scoop. My favorite guitar in the house right now."- Ian, Taylor Guitars Expert at Rudy's Music From Taylor Guitar’s Website: "Taking the guitar experience to a whole new level is the new Taylor 816ce. Add Builders Edition appointments such as 21 to 1 ratio Gotoh tuners, Silent Satin finish, and edges, it is hard to find a guitar with more to offer the playing experience. This is the guitar you would want to play alongside your concert piano! Built with Builders Edition Attributes, and an almost 3-dimensional" sound projection, this guitar must be experienced to be understood. Pairing the most poplar guitar tonewoods (Rosewood and a solid spruce top) with V-Class Architecture gave Andy the springboard to create this masterpiece instrument. Playability is unmatched, and the sound has to be experienced."
