Experience the commanding tone and striking visuals of the Taylor 618e Acoustic-Electric Guitar in Antique Blonde. Reintroduced with a redesigned Grand Orchestra body shape, this model features the largest body style in the Taylor lineup, crafted with solid Big Leaf maple and Sitka spruce. The result is a vibrant, warm, and transparent sound that uniquely reflects each player's stylistic quirks and techniques.

The 618e's Grand Orchestra body offers a bold, rich voice with low-end power and surprising balance. The solid Sitka spruce top provides excellent projection and a perfect amount of sparkle, while the Big Leaf maple back and sides deliver a bright, snappy tone. This combination results in a robust output, dynamic range, and sensitive response, making it perfect for all types of players.
