The 600 Series from Taylor sets itself apart through the use of maple wood and dried Sitka spruce. This combination ensures for a warm sound with resounding charisma and a good portion of sustain. Various models of this series come with an integrated ES2 Expression System 2 pickup.
The Grand Auditorium shape is the connection between the Dreadnought and Grand Concert shapes. Thereby it unites the large tonal range of the dreadnought when flat-picking and strumming with the benefits for finger-picking provided by the Grand Concert. Overall, a true all-rounder with overwhelming sound!
With the new models of 2015, Taylor is presenting new improvements in relation to the sound and look. A special protein glue is used, as well as a very thin finish, to minimize the resonance dampening of the body. This gives the guitar better sound characteristics.
Additionally the new models feature a grained ebony fretboard and the new, hand applied, Brown Sugar Stain finish on the back and sides, plus a spruce top dried through the torrefaction method. This artificial aging process gives the sound more consistency and presence.
The Expression System 2 is an upgraded version of the in-house designed pickup system. The transducer of the ES2 is not under but behind the bridge saddle. The idea behind this is that the vertical vibrations of the saddle are restricted due to the pressure caused by the string tension, yet side-to-side vibrations were not an issue. This piezo pickup takes advantage of this less restricted movement and ensures for a warm, full and less harsh tone.
