Deep, Resonant Tones With Custom Baritone 8-String Design

Tuned B to B and built with an extended 27" scale length, this custom Taylor baritone 8-string GA guitar produces notes with a remarkably deep and rich character. The 8-string configuration generates a broad tonal palette spanning from rumbling lows up through sparkling highs. Chords ring with complexity, single notes sustain with presence and your playing takes on new dimension. Whether creating lush backing parts or crafting a melody, the baritone range infuses your music with captivating new colors. The Grand Auditorium body provides comfortable ergonomics along with balanced, versatile acoustic tone. Plugged in or unplugged, this Taylor baritone 8-string stands apart from any other guitar.

Hand-Selected Woods Create Striking Looks and Balanced Tone

This Taylor baritone 8-string guitar gets its voice from premium tonewoods hand-selected for their beauty and resonance. The Lutz spruce top offers crisp articulation with sweet, ringing overtones in the high end to complement the baritone's rich lows. The figured black limba back and sides generate complex midrange tones with clear note separation even when strumming full chords. An ebony tail strip provides tonal focus, while an Indian rosewood back strip accentuates the gorgeous black limba figuring. Together these woods create a stunning look, with an artfully hand-sprayed shaded edgeburst that further highlights the natural beauty. Sustain rings true and chords bloom with vintage-inspired warmth thanks to the optimal wood pairings.

Hear Your Music Come to Life With Taylor's Groundbreaking V-Class Bracing

Taylor's innovative V-Class bracing represents a revolution in acoustic guitar design. This sonic engine boosts volume and sustain while optimizing the guitar's intonation. Notes ring out with improved clarity and consistency across the entire fingerboard. The guitar is easier to tune, with purer, more solid pitch. Harmonics sing uniformly up and down the neck. Chords bloom and decay with a beautiful balance. Every chord rings true, without sourness or muddiness. You'll find it's easier to voice complex chords up the neck and extract nuance from each note.

Plug In and Hear the True Acoustic Tone With ES2 Electronics

The guitar's ES2 electronics ensure your amplified tone remains true to the Taylor's acoustic spirit. The system features a patented behind-the-saddle pickup with three calibrated pickup sensors that capture the guitar's dynamic range. Taylor's custom-designed preamp produces exceptional amplified tone and responsiveness. Whether onstage through a PA or direct into recording software, the ES2 faithfully conveys the Taylor's unique voice. Easy-to-use controls let you shape your amplified tone. TaylorSense monitors your guitar's environment and alerts you if any damage occurs.

One-of-a-Kind Elegance With Custom Appointments

Exquisite craftsmanship makes this Taylor baritone a unique work of art. Custom appointments include green abalone and koa fingerboard inlays, paua purfling and binding, a mother of pearl peghead logo, Gotoh 510 mini tuners in antique gold and more. The guitar's shaded edgeburst over black limba pops beautifully. Every design detail reflects Taylor's commitment to excellence. Treat yourself to the singular inspiration of the Taylor Custom Lutz Spruce-Black Limba Baritone 8-String.
