Taylor 326ce Baritone-8 Special Edition 8-string Acoustic-electric Guitar - Shaded Edgeburst Reviews
One part baritone and one part 12-string sparkle, the Taylor 326ce Baritone-8 Special Edition acoustic-electric guitar stands apart from Taylor’s lineup as a wholly unique 8-string baritone creation. This 27-inch-scale guitar sports a standard B to B baritone tuning, but the real magic is found in the octave course D and A strings in the middle of the neck, facilitating unique low-tuned chord voicings and melodic textures you simply can’t find anywhere else. Moreover, the neo-tropical African mahogany bones of the 326ce Baritone-8 Special Edition found on the neck, top, back, and sides squeeze every drop of extended-range shimmer out of this idiosyncratic instrument giving you a dry and fundamental-heavy response. Lastly, it wouldn’t be a Taylor without the brand’s signature effortless performance — the fast-playing standard Taylor neck carve, deep Venetian cutaway, 15-inch-radius ebony fingerboard, and world-class Taylor ES2 electronics make the Taylor 326ce Baritone-8 Special Edition an absolute powerhouse of playability, ready to hit the stage or the studio right out of the box.

Masterpiece
Stunning guitar with amazing sound.
Very well built and lots of fun to play.
Truly Amazing!
I bought an amazing guitar with the help of my Sweetwater Sales Engineer, with whom I have been dealing with for years now, buying gear on wallet friendly payment plans. Buying that way enables me to get premium gear and enjoy it without straining my budget.
He helped me getting the exact instrument I wanted—a Taylor 326-ce Baritone 8-string—choosing out of a gallery of in-stock instruments. It's beautiful and the sound of it is truly amazing!
The two middle strings are doubled; each pair is an octave apart giving the guitar a magical, chorus like sound. Those four strings played on the fourth fret gives me what sounds to my ear like an almost minor chord which I use in a couple of songs. Otherwise, they add an inimitable ring to all the other chords.
No worries about forearm sweat fouling the lower bout. The satin finish makes it a non-issue.
I'm very happy with this purchase!
Thanks Sweetwater!
Amazing!
The Taylor Baritone 8-string I received is simply amazing! The doubled center strings give it a chorus-like effect and really make the instrument sing.
It looks amazing too. I got to pick the exact instrument I wanted from a gallery of choices. The mahogany woodgrain is stunning front and back, and the satin finish makes it visually impressive.
Many thanks to Ian Lemberg at Sweetwater for assisting me with this purchase!
Outstanding at any price
I've had in my possession three Taylor instruments at different times. One can say whatever they like about Taylor guitars, the sound, finishes, but
you would be hard pressed to fault the quality of their construction.
I'm usually a "wait for the other shoe to drop" kind of guy before gushing with accolades on any guitar I've acquired, but WOW!
If you're looking for a baritone guitar or even thought about looking for a baritone guitar get THIS ONE! The clarity and nearly piano like quality of
sound is really, really pleasing and inspirational.
This is a limited run model, so if you can swing it, especially with the financing option, try and get yourself one!
A shout out to Ashton and the Sweetwater crew!
