Taylor tackles the baritone!

Leave it to Taylor to bring a whole new dimension to the baritone guitar! If you love the deep, rich sound only a baritone can give you, take a look and a listen to this amazing acoustic-electric! The Baritone 8-String plays easily, thanks to its longer scale length. So, why eight strings? Each of the Baritone 8-String's two middle strings are accompanied by an octave string, for just the right touch of high-end sparkle to go along with that big baritone sound.





A Sitka spruce top and an Indian rosewood back and sides combine to give you that perfect combination of richness and detail, while the easy-playing tropical mahogany neck feels just right in your hand. Ready to take this tone machine onstage? The Baritone 8-String 's onboard Taylor Expression System electronics give you amazingly natural plugged-in tones. You'll love the Baritone 8-String as soon as you strum it, and you'll keep coming back for more!

Taylor hit the nail on the head

by Steve Mertens from Long Island, NY

Music Background: Semi-pro / hobbyist
Unbelievable tone. Great combo of strings. I play with a mandolin player and was concerned about too much "twang" from all the octave strings but with it being a baritone I can play more open strings ... read more [+]and get a great sound combo. Playability is typical Taylor quality, you hardly notice the octave strings when playing. I have an Ovation Glen Campbell early 70's model 12 string and this is nothing like a 12 string. close [-]

I couldn't believe I bought it!

okay, its the weirdest guitar I've ever owned. But it sounds like nothing else. I was in a bit of a songwriting rut, and I just had this instrument would pry me out of it. Sure enough, 15 minutes a... read more [+]t home and I was onto new ideas in new keys with new progressions and just a different sound than I've ever had. Cool. Its the baritone thing that does it, but without the two octave strings, it wouldn't really work. Very smart niche instrument that every serious guitarist/songwriter should at least consider. By the way, now I have to own a 12-string... close [-]

This guitar is simply amazing.

Taylor is obviously known for making a quality instrument. This is no exception. The guitar is first off beautiful. It stands out amongst all of the other guitars in the showroom. When you pick up... read more [+] the guitar, it feels even better. The neck is just right, the body feels good, and it just feels like a solid guitar. The playability of this guitar is seriously amazing. Once you start, it hard to stop. The sound it creates is the most resonant, warm, crisp sound I have ever heard from a guitar. Everything is clear. This guitar may have a large price tag, but it is worth every penny. Save up a little at a time and get this guitar! You won't be disappointed. Simply amazing. close [-]
