Maple’s sonic transparency makes it reflective of both the guitar design and the player’s touch. Using V-Class bracing, Taylor master builder Andy Powers has voiced our maple 600 Series guitars to respond with an even broader spectrum of tonal colors, from warm to bright, all depending on the player’s nuanced attack (or type of pick or choice of strings). Torrefied spruce tops on several models, together with V-Class architecture, add depth, projection and sustain. Maple’s clarity makes this series a great choice for fingerstyle players or lead guitarists, but virtually any type of player will appreciate the musical versatility and visual beauty these instruments offer. A wide array of model options includes two Builder’s Edition beauties plus the Grand Orchestra 618e and the GT 611e LTD, voiced with C-Class bracing.
