The Best of Both Worlds

For electric guitar players, gigging with an acoustic-electric guitar can be uncomfortable. Those deeper bodies with hard edges can leave you feeling worse for wear after you step off the stage. But with the LTD TL-6 from ESP, that's a thing of the past. This thinline acoustic guitar strikes the perfect balance between acoustic guitar tone and electric guitar feel. Its slim mahogany body features a finished spruce top for premium looks and a powerful, articulate tone that translates to plugged and unplugged performances. It has a Thin "U"-shaped mahogany neck and jumbo frets that feel like they should belong on an electric guitar. And when it comes time to plug in, premium Fishman electronics reproduce an authentic tone that sits well in any mix. Designed to be played onstage, the ESP LTD TL-6 Thinline Acoustic-electric guitar will change your set for the better.

A neck fit for an electric guitar

To provide a playing feel unlike any other acoustic guitar, the LTD TL-6 is equipped with a fast-playing 3-piece mahogany neck. It's carved into a Thin "U" profile reminiscent of the lightning-fast necks of the '80s. Your fingers will delight at the smooth feel of the roasted jatoba fingerboard. And to round out the electric-style playing experience, LTD equipped this guitar with 22 jumbo frets for a familiar playing experience. If you prefer the feel of a thin and fast neck, Sweetwater believes you'll love the LTD TL-6.

Premium tonewoods make for great acoustic character

For the TL-6, LTD chose choice tonewoods to provide the best possible acoustic sound. The mahogany back and sides create a deep, warm, and highly resonant tone. For maximum output and articulation, a finished spruce top — a hallmark of quality acoustic instruments everywhere — rounds out the body design. Together with the set mahogany neck and jatoba fingerboard, the ESP LTD TL-6 produces a potent blend of excellent definition and savory resonance.

Fishman electronics for stellar plugged-in tone

Since the TL-6 is designed to be a perfect stage companion, it needs standout electronics. The team over at LTD didn't disappoint! They equipped this acoustic-electric guitar with a Fishman Sonicore under-saddle pickup. Sonicore pickups are trusted by guitarists all over the world due to their impeccable accuracy. The pickup runs straight into a Fishman TL-3 preamp, complete with tone shaping controls and an onboard tuner. Once you plug in, you'll have an immediately useable tone that's great for any mix.

ESP LTD TL-6 Thinline Acoustic-electric Guitar Features:

  • Thinline body design is super comfortable for playing standing up
  • Mahogany back and sides produce a warm, resonant tone
  • Finished spruce top enhances power and articulation
  • Thin "U" neck shape feels sleek and plays fast
  • Fishman Sonicore electronics reproduce natural sounding plugged-in tones
  • Roasted jatoba fingerboard and jumbo frets feel smooth and comfortable under your fingers
