DISC Taylor 618e Grand Orchestra Electro-Acoustic Guitar

Full Description

Whilst traditional maple acoustic guitars are known for a bright tone, the huge Grand Orchestra body removes all preconceptions of maple as a tonewood. The guitar is delicately balanced and responds exceptionally to all playing styles. Softer pickers will be impressed by the richness and precision, whilst hard strummers will be blown away by the huge, thumping bass tones that can be generated.

Expression System 2

The Taylor Expression System 2 is a revolutionary pickup design that delivers the latest in Taylor's ongoing innovation in acoustic guitar amplification. The heart of the Expression System 2 is Taylor's proprietary behind-the-saddle pickup, which features three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors. The location of the sensors enables a more dynamic range of acoustic sound to be captured than ever before. Together with Taylor's custom-designed ''professional audio''-grade preamp, this system produces exceptional amplified tone and responsiveness. On stage through a PA, plugged into your favorite acoustic amplifier, or direct into recording software, the Expression System 2 faithfully conveys the voice of your Taylor guitar.

The Perfect Guitar Neck

For ultimate playability and peace of mind, all 600 series guitars feature Taylor's unique NT neck design. The NT neck was designed to give players a straighter, more stable guitar neck, resistant to common problems such as changes in humidity. The neck sits in a custom fit pocket along with laser-cut spacers. There's a perfect neck angle for each Taylor guitar, and these precision spacers create it. Best of all, because there is no glue used in the NT neck design, maintenance and adjustments can be made by trained technicians in a matter of minutes.

Quality You Can Trust

All 600 series guitars include an official Taylor hard case, and customers can benefit from a FREE 12 year Taylor European warranty when registering the guitar at www.taylorguitars.com
