The Taylor 818e acoustic-electric guitar boasts Taylors largest body shape — the Grand Orchestra. With an outsized air capacity, the 818e produces an enormous sound, full of robust lows with a tremendous amount of projection. Yet, it remains incredibly sensitive and articulate, adding punch and clarity to picked notes and strummed chords. The newly redesigned 818e features deluxe appointments, including a Mission inlay pattern in mother-of-pearl and grained ivoroid, an ebony fingerboard, maple binding, Taylor nickel tuners, and a rosewood pickguard. The combination of rosewood back and sides and Sitka spruce top adds additional richness and depth to the Grand Orchestra sound, and the 818e is built around Taylor's V-Class bracing, which enhances the instrument's volume and sustain. For playing out live, the 818e includes Taylor's innovative Expression System 2 electronics
