610e
The Taylor 610e is a non-cutaway, electro-acoustic Dreadnought from the maple-bodied 600 Series. Earlier examples pair Big Leaf maple with Sitka spruce, while the mid-2010s revoiced generation adds a torrefied Sitka top, shape-specific Advanced Performance bracing and ES2 electronics.

Taylor 610e: maple clarity in a Dreadnought
The Taylor 610e combines a full Dreadnought body with the defined response of the maple 600 Series. It is an interesting choice for players seeking acoustic power, clear note separation and a non-cutaway Taylor with onboard electronics.
Read the model name
6 places it in the 600 Series, 10 identifies a six-string Dreadnought with a softwood top, and e means onboard electronics. With no c, the 610e has no cutaway.
Maple Dreadnought voice
Taylor described the redesigned 610e as voiced for power, clarity and a fast response. The Dreadnought body brings low-end authority, while the maple body helps keep the response defined rather than loose.
Production era matters
Official lists show a Big Leaf maple and Sitka-spruce 610e in 2013. Taylor then rolled out a revoiced 600 Series, with the updated 610e arriving late in the programme and documented for 2015–17 with a torrefied Sitka top, shape-specific Advanced Performance bracing and ES2 electronics.
Earlier models and the 600 Series revoicing
Taylor’s 2013 material documents a maple-and-Sitka-spruce 610e. The 600 Series redesign announced for 2015 brought changes to bracing, wood thicknesses, glues and finish, together with torrefied spruce tops. The 610e followed within that phased release and remains documented in the 2017 guide.
The redesigned voice
Taylor’s revoicing aimed to bring warmth and depth to maple while retaining its quick response. The updated 610e pairs a torrefied Sitka top with shape-specific Advanced Performance bracing and ES2 electronics.
