Full-sounding Grand Symphony-sized body
There's a solid reason why acoustic players everywhere reach for Grand Symphony-sized guitars like the 50th Anniversary 316ce Baritone. This acoustic-electric guitar's comfortable narrow waist, rich, full range of sounds, sharp definition, and sleek look make it an excellent intermediate option for finger pickers and singer/songwriters who depend on a good-sounding, good-playing instrument night after night. What's more, its baritone bracing enhances projection evenly across the tonal spectrum and increases sustain while improving the guitar's natural intonation by creating a more synergistic response from its soundboard.
A glorious tonewood cocktail
The 50th Anniversary 316ce Baritone's time-proven Sitka spruce top, which has been meticulously torrefied for enhanced tone, gives you cannon-like projection with just the right amount of sparkle. This acoustic-electric guitar's sapele back and sides also give it a warm and mellow quality, similar to that of mahogany, for a full and balanced tone.
Natural, dynamic plugged-in tone
When you hit the stage with the 50th Anniversary 316ce Baritone, you'll be grateful for its natural-sounding Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics. This top-quality system showcases a 3-section proprietary pickup located behind the guitar's saddle for clear and accurate sound reproduction. A master volume control and a pair of tone controls permit you to tweak your sound and output from the stage, and a discrete phase switch supplies you with onboard feedback suppression — a must-have feature for every amplified application.
