Overview

Finished with a stunning antique blonde on the top of the guitar, the Taylor 818e V Class acoustic electric guitar is a powerhouse of a guitar. Master guitar designer Andy Powers has completely revised his original body shape of rosewood back and sides with Sitka spruce top, and the results are remarkable. This incredible 818e represents the largest body in the Taylor lineup and packs a strong and full bass response and projection, yet responds to a light touch as well. Adorned in a beautiful antique blonde top finish, the 818e V Class is classy and understated, with maple binding on the body and ebony binding on the neck, paua shell single ring bound rosette, mother of pearl mission inlays on the fretboard and peghead, ES 2 electronics, and ships in a western floral deluxe hard shell case.
