The 618e Grand Orchestra establishes a new style of bold, powerful acoustic tone within the Taylor line. Solid maple back and sides lend this big-bodied powerhouse a focused, transparent sound that adapts and reflects the style of the player, while a solid Sitka spruce top adds brilliance and clarity. The touch-sensitive response balances out serious headroom and projection so that players can explore a wide dynamic range without losing balance or fading out of a mix.

Comes in a hardshell case.

• Grand Orchestra Shape - Taylor's biggest body shape blends power, detail and balance across the tonal spectrum.
• Sitka Spruce Top Wood - The soundboard choice for most guitars, Sitka spruce produces a broad dynamic range and accommodates a versatile range of playing styles.
• Maple Body Wood - Revoiced to produce greater warmth, complexity, volume, sustain and responsiveness
• The Expression System 2 captures more of a guitar's dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.
• V-Class Bracing - A revolutionary design that balances the flexibility and stability of the top, V-Class bracing produces unmatched sustain, volume, and intonation.
