Taylor 618e Antique Blonde

I own a lot of top tier western guitars such as Gibson custom shop SJ-200 guitars, a Martin D-41 and a Guild D-55 (which I all love and spent a long time finding - trading a ton of guitars along the way). I can however safely say that I’ve never owned a guitar where the quality and class of the finish / build quality and attention to detail was this perfect - I am quite amazed.

It’s a premium price but compared to other US flagship guitars it’s still a really good price.

More importantly the tone, sustain and responsive character is super interesting - it’s a guitar that truly responds to (and changes) its voice to your mood and playing intensity. I can’t put her down!

That fact that it’s the first jumbo sized guitar I’ve ever owned that’s easy play is the icing on the cake (I’m a big bloke btw).

In short this beauty comes highly recommended from me. Both for songwriting, live and recording.
