Electro-acoustic acoustic guitar with 613 mm scale length

With the Taylor GT 611e Limited, the US manufacturer from San Diego, California, presents a special edition of its compact Grand Theater models. Thanks to its fully solid construction, the acoustic guitar produces a powerful sound that is suitable for numerous genres. furthermore, the flat neck promises excellent playability in all 20 frets. To ensure that the entire tonal range sounds clean, the saddle and nut are precisely matched. The smooth-running tuners also allow for quick tuning. In addition to fine inlay work, the instrument is decorated with a tortoise pickguard, giving it a characterful appearance. The guitar is rounded off by the in-house pickup system, which transmits the acoustic sound directly and unaltered to the amplifier. The scope of delivery includes a sturdy Taylor Aerocase.

Finished with a Tortoise pickguard, Mission fingerboard inlays and a Tobacco Sunburst finish

Construction and woods

Since the top is made of Sitka spruce, the small guitar produces a very bright and defined sound with powerful mid and treble frequencies. This is perfectly complemented by the warm bass frequencies of the maple body used, so that both expressive strumming and fine Pickings are perfectly accentuated. The shortened maple neck allows the player optimal access to the entire ebony fingerboard. The overlay on the characteristic headstock, the bridge and the bridge pins are also made of the finest ebony.

Hardware and design

To ensure that the guitar intonates cleanly throughout the 613 mm scale length, the compensated bridge inlay and 43.65 mm wide nut are made of GraphTech TUSQ. In addition, the nickel-plated die-cast tuners guarantee precise tuning of the strings. The fretboard features contrasting Mission inlays, which are excellently matched to the single ring soundhole rosette. The top is bordered by a multi-ply ebony Binding that creates a harmonious transition with the rest of the body components.

Electronics

Built into the body is the high-quality Taylor Expression System 2, which uses three piezo elements to directly pick up the acoustic sound of each pair of strings. The treble as well as bass frequencies and volume can be individually adjusted via the body preamp. The active system is powered by a 9V block battery, which is stowed in a battery compartment next to directly next to the jack.

Taylor - The epitome of fine quality

As one of the largest guitar manufacturers, Taylor is truly an authority in the production of first-class instruments. Thus, professional manufacturing by skilled craftsmen results in the very finest products for life, whose value is always maintained - or even increased! This is due in equal part to exquisite tonewoods, which do not warp due to long storage and selected quality and as a result can hardly be surpassed in terms of high quality. Only spruce, mahogany, cedar or Koa of proven quality are used for the tops. By the way, careful production in combination with the best materials does not only apply to guitars. Guitar bags and all accessories are also of first-class quality. Finally, a conscientious final inspection does not let even the smallest defects pass and ensures absolutely flawless guitars even before shipment.

And that's not all: Taylor also attaches great importance to environmentally conscious actions.

Ebony & Koa: Sustainability at Taylor Guitars

Uncontrolled clearing of forests and overexploitation lead to massively endangered wood species, which can no longer regenerate due to the high pace of mining. These include ebony and koa in particular, whose dwindling stocks and the resulting ecological problems have prompted a rethink at Taylor Guitars.

Sustainable ebony cultivation in Cameroon

Because ebony 's hard, supple texture makes it particularly finger-friendly, it has long been the preferred choice for making fingerboards. Its attractive appearance is also extremely popular for bridges, headstock rests, bridge Pins and Bindings. However, high demand and a thriving black market outstripped stocks, landing Ebony on the Red List of Endangered Species in 1994. Moreover, only the deep black heartwood, which makes up only a fraction of the tree, was used, resulting in a disproportionately large amount of waste in production. In order to protect the forests, Taylor has thus been working since 2011 with the Crelicam Wood Mill in Yaoundé in Cameroon to promote controlled consumption by processing waste products.

"We need to use the ebony that the forest gives us" - Bob Taylor

Siglo Tonewoods Project

Koa acacia populations have also suffered severe losses over the last 20 years. Unsustainable forestry as well as overexploitation led to a decline that can only be stopped by proactive action and reforestation. Therefore, Taylor Guitars together with Pacific Rim Tonewoods founded the Siglo Tonewoods project, which aims to rebuild the Hawaiian virgin forest. This is a large cultivation area for koa acacia and other species, which allows the use of koa wood on a controlled scale.
