The 8-string configuration generates a broad tonal palette spanning from rumbling lows up through sparkling highs.

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.
