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.
