Description
The 818e Grand Orchestra’s memorable musical character is complemented by a set of luxurious appointments, including maple binding, a single-ring rosette in shell and paua, nickel tuners, Mission inlays in mother-of-pearl and abalone, and a new Antique Blonde top finish treatment that adds a charming glow. The Grand Orchestra large body shape has a powerful sound that provides serious headroom and projection for bold strummers, but the new enhancements also make the 818e incredibly soft-touch-sensitive, making it an ideal choice for fingerstyle players and flatpickers as well.
•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.
•Indian Rosewood Body Wood – The tonewood superstar. Popular, traditional, and versatile, Bob Taylor puts Indian rosewood among the greatest tonewoods ever.
•Expression System 2 Electronics capture 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.
