Taylor 250ce Plus 10-String Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Bajo Quinto Black

The Taylor 250ce Plus 10-string dreadnought acoustic-electric Bajo Quinto stands out in the Somos Collection with bold stage visuals and focused sound. A gloss black finish with white binding and Italian acrylic rosette set a striking look, while the Venetian cutaway gives access all the way up the neck. The top uses solid torrefied Sitka spruce for clarity and projection; layered big leaf maple on the back and sides keeps the tone crisp and present. Designed for rhythmic ensemble work, this Bajo Quinto features five double courses tuned in the traditional A-D-G-C-F pattern, locking in with bass and accordion for percussive drive. The Taylor neck profile and 25-1/2" scale length support quick changes and extended chords, giving performers easy reach and fluid playability.

Torrefied Spruce Top Delivers Focused Projection

Torrefied Sitka spruce receives a specialized heat treatment that ages the wood, increasing resonance and responsiveness. The top projects each note with strong clarity and a balanced attack, which helps the bajo quinto stand out in an ensemble or cut through a busy mix. This design gives every strum and pick a clear voice, supporting rhythm and lead duties without masking the instrument’s character.

EMG ACS Humbucker Pickup Streamlines Amplification

The EMG ACS acoustic soundhole humbucker creates a high-output, noise-free signal for reliable performance. Connect directly to a PA or amp and maintain consistent sound, even when switching venues or setups. This pickup’s design helps keep tone clean and strong, avoiding signal loss or unwanted feedback during live sets.

Double-Course Layout and Cutaway Enable Fast Play

Five double courses—octave pairs on the lower strings and unison pairs on the upper—deliver the classic Bajo Quinto punch. The Taylor standard neck profile feels smooth in hand, while the Venetian cutaway allows easy access to higher frets. With a 1-7/8" nut width and West African ebony fingerboard, fast transitions and chord changes come naturally, supporting detailed arrangements and quick melodic runs.

Layered Maple, Ebony and AeroCase Increase Durability

Layered big leaf maple resists warping from humidity or travel, keeping the instrument stable over time. Genuine West African ebony bridge and fingerboard withstand wear from years of playing, while the gloss black finish and satin hardware protect against dings and scratches. The included AeroCase makes carrying the instrument between gigs safe and lightweight.
