Taylor BUILDER’S EDITION 324CE AND 816CE

THESE TWO NEW additions to Taylor’s Builder’s Edition series are radical in their own ways. The eco-conscious 324ce is the first guitar to come from Taylor’s Urban Wood Initiative, which uses trees sourced from cities that have scheduled their removal due to age or safety concerns. The 816ce represents a redesign of Taylor’s Grand Symphony body style, with a shallow cutaway sporting an extra soundport. Shared elements include V-Class bracing, Silent Satin finish, Expression System 2 electronics and lots of Taylor’s West African Crelicam ebony. That’s where similarities end and unique qualities begin.
