Now, the jumbo-esque shape takes on new life thanks to new revoicings by Andy Powers, launching with this 818e. Built with solid Indian rosewood for the back and sides with a solid Sitka spruce top, the 818e is among the first Grand Orchestra guitars to feature V-Class bracing. Rosewood and spruce interplay here to produce rich low-end warmth, slightly scooped mids, and clear, articulate treble notes, while the new bracing allows rosewood’s natural overtones to bloom and resonate as notes sustain. The large body shape 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. The 818e’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. It ships without a cutaway to preserve a more traditional look and feel, and includes built-in ES2 electronics to provide clean amplified tone. It also includes a deluxe hardshell case with a Western Floral pattern.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSerial #:\u003c\/b\u003e 1210210149\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight: \u003c\/b\u003e4lbs 13.5oz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eScale Length: \u003c\/b\u003e25-1\/2\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut \u0026amp; Saddle: \u003c\/b\u003eTusq\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBracing:\u003c\/b\u003e V-Class\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTruss Rod Cover:\u003c\/b\u003e West African Crelicam Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickguard: \u003c\/b\u003eRosewood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber of Frets:\u003c\/b\u003e 20\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTuners: \u003c\/b\u003eTaylor Nickel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase:\u003c\/b\u003e Taylor Deluxe Hardshell-Western Floral\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Length: \u003c\/b\u003e20 5\/8\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Width: \u003c\/b\u003e16 3\/4\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Depth: \u003c\/b\u003e5\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding\/Edge Treatment:\u003c\/b\u003e Pale Non-Figured Maple\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTop Finish: \u003c\/b\u003eGloss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBack Config: \u003c\/b\u003e2-piece No Wedge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBackstrap Finish: \u003c\/b\u003eNone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRosette Size: \u003c\/b\u003eNone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Inlay:\u003c\/b\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBack\/Side Finish: \u003c\/b\u003eGloss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArmrest Binding:\u003c\/b\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBackstrap Wood:\u003c\/b\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRosette Mat.:\u003c\/b\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eStain\/Sunburst: \u003c\/b\u003eAntique Blond\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWedge: \u003c\/b\u003eNone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArmrest:\u003c\/b\u003e No\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Width: \u003c\/b\u003e1-3\/4\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFretboard Inlay:\u003c\/b\u003e Mission\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFretboard Binding\/Edge Treatment: \u003c\/b\u003eWest African Crelicam Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeel Cap Binding: \u003c\/b\u003eNone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eType of Neck Joint:\u003c\/b\u003e Scarf\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck\/Heel:\u003c\/b\u003e Tropical Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFretboard Wood: \u003c\/b\u003eEbony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Gloss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeel Length:\u003c\/b\u003e 3-1\/2\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Gloss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Binding: \u003c\/b\u003eWest African Crelicam Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Type: \u003c\/b\u003eStandard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Purfling: \u003c\/b\u003eKoa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeadstock Overlay:\u003c\/b\u003e Indian Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Inlay:\u003c\/b\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Logo:\u003c\/b\u003e Taylor Mother of Pearl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Pins:\u003c\/b\u003e West African Ebony with Green Abalone Dots\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eButtons:\u003c\/b\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Ext:\u003c\/b\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEdge Trim:\u003c\/b\u003e None","brand":"Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34726591365255,"sku":"A803023011000070263-1210210149","price":2658.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/products\/taylor-acoustic-guitars-jumbo-taylor-818e-grand-orchestra-sitka-rosewood-antique-blonde-es2-a803023011000070263-1210210149-28536139612295.jpg?v=1651633860","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.com\/en-gb\/products\/taylor-818e-grand-orchestra-sitkarosewood-antique-1053567","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
