Taylor 50th Anniversary 316ce Baritone LTD Grand Symphony, Torrefied Spruce/Sapele, Shaded Edgeburst

Clocking in as part of their 50th Anniversary celebration, this Taylor Guitars 50th Anniversary 316ce Baritone-6 LTD bridges a gap between standard and bass guitars with distinct Taylor style and design. Unlocking new tonal modes for players seeking a different sonic avenue, this baritone acoustic does quite a bit of heavy lifting in very musical realms.

This anniversary model starts out with a Taylor Grand Symphony body formed from a solid sapele back and sides and a Sitka spruce top. These two tonewoods when combined offer a rich sonic palette of solid woody lows, crystalline highs and a dense midrange. Taylor took extra care in this design process by heat-treating the Sitka spruce through a process known as torrefaction to impart a slight age to the tonewood, resulting in a played-in sort of feel and sound right out of the case. The baritone bracing pattern Taylor uses in this model enhances the bass response of the guitar while promoting a distinct clarity and articulation across the 27” scale length.

A mahogany neck enters the fray on this baritone model, joined by a Crelicam ebony fingerboard. This slimly-profiled mahogany ensures an ease playing experience across the palm during travels from lower to higher registers. Visual details that tie the instrument together include Gemstone fret inlays, black body and fingerboard binding and a shaded edgeburst body and neck finish. For playability, this Taylor comes equipped with Taylor gold tuners for quick string changes and tonal stability and ebony bridge pins for effectively grounding strings and bringing string playability to a satisfying sum. Onboard Taylor Expression System 2 electronics seamlessly translate the baritone voices of this anniversary model to electric settings for performance while a Taylor Deluxe Hardshell case ensures safety for this guitar when traveling.

To take part in Taylor 50th anniversary with this baritone Grand Symphony model is to unlock a truly unique chapter in Taylor history. For Taylor fans everywhere, this guitar punches a one-of-a-kind ticket.
