The Best of Both Worlds

For electric guitar players, gigging with an acoustic-electric guitar can be uncomfortable. Deeper bodies with hard edges can leave you feeling worse for wear after you step off the stage. But with the ESP LTD TL-6QM, 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 body is made from mahogany with a figured maple top for a robust unplugged sound with plenty of sweetness. 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 a pleasant tone that sits well in any mix. Designed for life onstage, the LTD TL-6QM 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-6QM is equipped with a fast-playing 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 rosewood fingerboard. And to round out the electric-style playing experience, LTD equipped this guitar with 22 jumbo frets for a familiar playing feel. If you love the feel of a thin and fast neck, Sweetwater knows you'll love the LTD TL-6QM.

Premium tonewoods make for great acoustic character

For the TL-6QM, LTD chose choice tonewoods to provide the best possible acoustic sound. The mahogany back and sides create a deep, warm, and highly resonant tone. To add a little sparkle and sweetness, an eye-catching figured maple top rounds out the body design. Together with the set mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard, the LTD TL-6QM produces a potent blend of excellent definition and savory resonance.

Fishman electronics for stellar plugged-in tone

Since the TL-6QM 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-6QM Thinline Acoustic-electric Guitar Features:

  • Thinline body design is super comfortable for playing standing up
  • Mahogany back and sides produce a warm, resonant tone
  • Figured maple top adds brightness and visual appeal
  • Thin "U" neck shape feels sleek and plays fast

Reviews

LTD Thinline ESP
Another fantastic guitar. Acoustic electric and sounds great. ESP does a fantastic job with this one. This is a TL-6QM charcoal Burst. They come in different shades and I chose this particular one. These guitars sell fast and are tough to get. So if you find one, and your wanting an acoustic electric then don't wait, get one and see for yourself. You will be happy with it. A pretty light guitar and well built. The design is beautiful. I prefer lighter strings. This one has heavy strings but not anything to worry about. Change em to what you like and play play play. A top 5 acoustic/electric for the $$$. Thanks Sweetwater and My legendary sales rep Connor. Keep rocking.

As usual the guys at Sweet water were super. As for the guitar it is well made for this price range,nice looking and comfortable. The action was a little high so I adjusted the neck and got it to an OK height but not really an electric guitar feel...my martin has better action. On the tone side of things I was a little disappointed. Perhaps my expectations were a bit high as my baseline for comparison are Martin,Gibson and Breed love with various high end pick up systems. I am experimenting with various strings but still don't have an acoustic tone I like. It doesn't sound bad but a little thin and short of my expectations.
I would use it in a band situation but so far not for solo work, but ya never know I might hit on the right combination of strings and amplification to suit me. In conclusion I am keeping it and will continue that never ending search for tone.
