Notes: Taylor acoustic guitars are renowned for their reliability, consistency and technical sophistication, which have made them the standard for working performers for decades. The 618 series has Taylor's unique Grand Orchestra body, their largest guitar design.

Taylor's proprietary 'V Class' bracing system optimizes soundboard flexibility and rigidity to enhance clarity, balance, and responsiveness, with bracing specifically engineered to maximize acoustic performance. Finally, the Expression System 2 positions its peizo sensors slightly behind the bridge, for maximum fidelity and signal strength.

Lightweight and responsive, at just 4lb 15oz, the guitar is exceptionally comfy for an instrument of its size. The 1 11/16" neck has an easy D profile, and a solid ebony fingerboard with Mission style MOP inlays.

This example is in showroom condition, free of playwear, with smooth low action over a fresh high-precision setup. An attractive and versatile performer, and a truly innovative instrument for the demanding player. One only: call now.
