Up for sale, a 2015 Taylor 618e Grand Orchestra special edition "Brown Sugar" acoustic electric guitar in exceptional, near mint condition and in perfect working order. The massive tone of maple meets a spruce top with the Taylor 618e Grand Orchestra acoustic-electric guitar. Taylor's Grand Orchestra body shape (Taylor's largest) boasts Taylor's boldest, richest voice yet, one that blends incredible bass response with surprising balance. The torrefied Sitka spruce top, Big Leaf maple back, and heavily figured flame maple sides create a clean tone that really projects. And Taylor's ES2 electronics give you authentic acoustic tone any time you need to plug in. The Taylor 618e Grand Orchestra has robust output, great dynamic range, and a touch sensitive responsiveness for all types of players. Professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar, this Taylor boasts low action and 12-53 bronze strings.There are a few key elements that set this 618e apart from previous Taylor offerings, including their Advanced Performance bracing designed by Andy Powers, which optimizes the way that maple wants to move naturally (this is especially impactful on the back bracing). These braces are constructed of Adirondack spruce and specially sized and tapered for each body shape. The redesigned 618e features what Taylor refers to as the Grand Orchestra body shape, which is a slightly larger version of their flagship Grand Auditorium body size. With the Grand Orchestra the waist is moved up toward the neck. This gives the 618e a slightly larger lower bout, facilitating an excellent blend of power and projection, without losing the high end definition of the Grand Auditorium size.The maple neck features a very soft V shaped profile at the nut that rounds out to a slender C shape as you move into the higher registers of the fretboard. The thick slab ebony fretboard boasts ivoroid wing inlays as well as vintage-style fretwire that is virtually flawless with perfectly rounded crowns. At the nut, the 618e measures 1 3/4" in width, and the headstock boasts clean chrome tuning machines and a gloss finish on both the face and back of the headstock, topped off with inlay on the headstock joint.The body includes Taylor's E2 Expression System which has a three-section proprietary pickup located behind the saddle. Because of where it's positioned and how it's integrated into the Taylor 618e's saddle, the ES2 pickup provides you with remarkably clear and accurate sound. In addition to a master volume control, a pair of tone controls let you tweak your highs and lows to get the sound you need, and a discreet phase switch offers vital onboard feedback suppression.Cosmetically, there's barely a scratch on the guitar, and the Big Leaf maple back and sides have consistent, deep flame figuring with no "bald spots." Given the Brown Sugar Stain finish, it's difficult to illustrate in the photos the nuances of the figuring, but suffice it to say that this Taylor balances prominent figuring with a clean, traditional, and understated look.
