Taylor 818e Acoustic Guitar
The largest Taylor body shape, the Grand Orchestra, is back and with V-Class bracing, this bold big guitar has more punch than ever. The proven combination of Indian rosewood back and sides with Sitka spruce top gives the 818e an astonishing tonal and dynamic range. The very dimensions of the GO ensure deep bass, but with sparkling highs, great articulation, and nuance when needed, making it ideal for fingerstyle players and soloists who need to use the full tonal palette.With enough volume to fill a room without ever breaking up, the 818e features a luxurious Antique Blonde finish and a tasteful array of appointments including maple binding, a paua rosette, and a mother-of-pearl "Mission" inlay. Delivered in a deluxe Western floral hardshell case that perfectly complements the guitar’s look, the 818e is equipped with a natural and transparent-sounding Expression System ES2 electronics.

Grand Orchestra
The breadth and presence of rosewood in the sonic and dynamic spectrum have made it one of the most popular acoustic tonewoods of all time and a favorite for Taylor guitars. Its warm lows and bright highs offer a pleasing blend of clarity and resonance, blossoming with harmonics as notes sustain. A slightly scooped midrange provides the perfect space for vocals, making rosewood a preferred wood for singer-songwriters.
Sitka Spruce
If you need to amplify your sound, you’ll love the revolutionary onboard ES2 pickup system
