Just Wow!

Received my Taylor 816ce yesterday and am absolutely loving it! This guitar is a thing of beauty and has such a lush tone. It makes you want to pick it up and play. I thought the guitar I had was amazing. Had no idea how much better an acoustic guitar could be. Many thanks to Jon Krempel for answering all my questions. Sweetwater continues to provide me with the best quality and… read more set up instruments I have ever played. Grateful for their example and inspired to deliver this kind of service in what I do.

In short, the best acoustic guitar available. Try it and see for yourself. Crisp with a ton of low end, play it loud or soft it sounds equally amazing.

Andy Powers on the video said this guitar is the "Opera Singer" of the line. Very true. Amped you hear every touch. Well worth the $$$. Best acoustic I've ever played in 54 years of playing. Nice low action. Ty Heiman my stellar, patient, flexible SW partner. Where does SW find these guys?SW does for Music what Four Seasons does for hospitality.

My first Taylor and what a gem it IS!! Something about that second hole — sound resonates so beautifully. . . almost seems amplified. (BTW, I just installed Tonewood Amp too, a way-cool accessory that I recommend SW carry.) The beauty of the wood on the fretboard, back and other is a true work of art. Really like the beveled edge on the sides too — makes it very comfortable… read more to hold. While you're at it, pick up a spider capo as well (or 2). Too much fun!!
One of the smoothest and best sounding Taylors I've ever played.

I bought this guitar, the Taylor 816ce Builders Edition, after selling my 717e Grand Pacific, which just didn't have the bass, volume, or balance I was looking for.So, when the 816ce became available, I took a chance on it, and I will never look back or have need for another guitar. This 816ce, with it's shorter scale length and light gauge strings, is a dream to play. It has… read more lots of volume but sounds amazing even when lightly strummed.I don't know if it's the new sound port cut-away, or just a perfect combination of everything in the Builder's Edition, but every note rings out clear, including a strong bass, while maintaining a beautiful blend together. It's hard to explain...it just works. And personally I think it's one of the best looking Taylors available. I'm principally a strummer, and this guitar is perfect. As usual in my experience, Sweetwater and their sales engineers are the best to deal with, even amidst the Corona Virus panic. Highly recommended!
