Taylor 618e Acoustic-Electric Guitar

Description

Taylor 618e Acoustic-Electric Guitar

At the forefront of our new Grand Orchestra body shape, the 618e establishes a new style of bold, powerful acoustic sound within the Taylor line.

Solid maple back and sides give this powerful body a focused, transparent sound that adapts and reflects the player's style, while a solid Sitka spruce top adds brilliance and clarity.

The transformative introduction of V-Class bracing into the Grand Orchestra body provides players with a more robust and vivid tonal response, with increased volume and sustain along with greater clarity and musicality that make this model even more reflective of the player and a versatile choice for musicians of all styles.

The touch-sensitive response balances serious headroom and projection so that players can explore a wide dynamic range without losing balance or fading from a mix. For this 600 Series model, maple binding with koa purfling, a single-ring paua rosette, mother-of-pearl Mission inlays, and a gloss finish treated with an Antique Blonde finish for the top, back, and sides are included.

To preserve the traditional look and feel of this jumbo-style guitar, we chose to build it without a cutaway.

The 618e comes with ES2 electronics in a deluxe Western Floral hardshell case.
