Grand Symphony Honeyburst
Item: TO516CEHB
A perennial favorite among singer-songwriters, the striking all glossy 516-ce Grand Symphony is considered by many to be the ultimate fingerpicking guitar. With it's exceptionally warm and articulate tones, tropical mahogany has established itself among the tonewood elite. And, the Western Red cedar top brings extra warmth and responsiveness to Taylor's popular mahogany Grand Symphony cutaway. Plugged in, this excellent combination of woods will sing out the subtlety of your style loud and clear. Taylor's 516-ce Grand Symphony has a bold, yet refined voice that can shift gears with ease.
It's worthwhile to note a few of Taylor's inovations to acoustic electric guitars. Taylor's Expression System utilizes patented Dynamic Sensors designed to faithfully reproduce your guitar's native tone. Created in partnership with renowned audio pioneer, Rupert Neve, the Taylor Expression System is seamlessly integrated into the design of the guitar to capture top and string vibration. Also, Taylor's innovative ultra violet-cured finish is more environmentally friendly than traditional lacquer finishes, and was developed for resistance to cold-checking and maximum durability.
