Taylor Baritone 8-String Acoustic Electric Guitar with Hardshell Case
The GS Baritone 8-String was inspired by a baritone guitar designed for Taylor’s 35th anniversary. With a longer 27-inch scale length it is factory tuned from B to B, offering players a lower, deeper tonal range at normal string tension. The baritone not only suits players who have a lower vocal range, but it adds a different sonic texture that blends well with other instruments to create a rich ensemble sound. This 8-string incorporates two additional octave strings that are paired with the third and fourth strings. The octave strings brighten up the voice without creating an overly “octave-y” 12-string sound. “It really extends the tonal range and gives the guitar a nicer spread because, as a baritone, the octaves aren’t really high,” says Bob Taylor. Includes deluxe hardshell case.
