The Taylor Custom Catch #3 C18e Grand Orchestra Lutz Spruce/Quilted Maple Acoustic-Electric Guitar in Royal Blue is a masterpiece of craftsmanship and sonic excellence, designed for the discerning musician who seeks both visual allure and unparalleled sound quality. This exquisite instrument, part of Taylor's esteemed Custom Catch series, showcases the brand's commitment to innovation, playability, and aesthetic beauty. The Grand Orchestra body shape, Taylor's largest, offers a powerful and rich sound with deep bass and sparkling highs, making it versatile for a wide range of playing styles, from fingerpicking to heavy strumming.
At the heart of this guitar's exceptional tone is its Lutz Spruce top, a hybrid spruce that combines the best tonal qualities of Sitka and White Spruce, offering a dynamic range with crisp articulation. Complementing the top is the stunning Quilted Maple back and sides, not only providing a breathtaking visual effect with its deep, Royal Blue finish but also contributing to the guitar's bright and focused sound, with a fast response that maple is known for. The onboard Taylor Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics capture the guitar's natural acoustic sounds, ensuring that its amplified tone is as true to its acoustic resonance as possible. This makes the C18e not just a joy to play acoustically but also a powerhouse when plugged in, ready for live performances or studio sessions.
