The Evolution of Maple
Many players consider maple to be a love-it-or-hate-it tonewood—until now. Taylor's 600 Series features Big Leaf maple as you've never heard it before, revoiced by master guitar designer Andy Powers to produce more low-end presence, warmth, and tonal breadth. The result is a lineup of acoustic guitars boasting solid maple back and sides paired with spruce tops, offering a uniquely player-reflective experience with a sound that responds differently to every pair of hands. Torrefied spruce tops add depth and projection, and V-Class bracing punches up more volume and sustain. Maple's clarity and articulation make the 600 Series a great choice for fingerstyle players or lead guitarists, but virtually all players will appreciate their versatility and visual beauty.

A range of body styles crafted with specially voiced Big Leaf maple and Sitka spruce yield a warm, punchy response covering a wide breadth of sounds and playing applications.
