2013 Taylor First Edition 618e Grand Orchestra - #44 of 100

This beauty is a first edition model that was limited to 100 guitars for the introduction of the new Grand Orchestra body shape to Taylor.

It features an upgraded appointment package along with additional premium details that distinguished its First Edition status. These include premium-grade wood, Adirondack spruce bracing, side bracing, an additional peg-head inlay, a custom First Edition label inside the guitar, a customized First Edition guitar strap and case plate, and a certificate of authenticity. It boasts a 3-piece back and sides of solid, AA-grade Big Leaf maple, a solid tight-grained Sitka spruce top, Adirondack bracing, and the “Twisted Oval” inlay scheme.

It has a big, complex voice. It’s incredibly balanced for a big-bodied guitar. Responsive to a light touch to a dynamic attack. This is the most transparent sounding guitar I’ve ever played.

This is an exquisite example of Taylor craftsmanship. This maple almost looks holographic...the depth of the flame is unbelievable. Loaded with Taylor's Expression pickup system.

Nut width is 1-3/4", scale is 25.5". Comes with Taylor hard shell case w/exterior "1st Edition" badge, 1st Edition COA and Warranty Card, all supplemental documents, Commemorative Book detailing the 618e and the build process, and a commemorative Taylor First Edition suede guitar strap.

Condition: It’s in as close to mint condition as possible. It has been played delicately at home, and I have never gigged or traveled with it. It has been kept in proper temperature/humidity. Non-smoking home.

Open to reasonable offers as pricing is extremely difficult due the limited first edition of only 100 guitars. Happy to provide more photos/videos upon request.
