The Taylor 316ce features a Sitka Spruce top, known for its bright and snappy resonance, . The back and sides of the guitar are made from Sapele, which was chosen for its warm tone and open midrange. When you put these 2 woods together the result is an acoustic electric guitar that’s perfect for strong rhythmic playing styles that can really cut through an otherwise dense mix, but it’s also right at home playing light-touch finger style. The 25.5” scale length neck is made from tropical American Mahogany and is adorned with beautiful large pearl dot inlay. Includes Taylor hardshell case.
