Description
Taylor Guitars is proud to introduce the 326ce Baritone-8 Special Edition, an acoustic-electric baritone guitar that provides a playing experience like no other. With its extended 27" scale, B-to-B tuning and one-of-a-kind octave-paired D and A strings, this model delivers a robust low end complemented by ethereal 12-string-like shimmer. The 326ce Baritone-8 Special Edition boasts a solid neo-tropical mahogany top, back and sides, yielding a focused midrange tone that retains clarity when strumming and responsiveness when fingerpicking.
Extended Scale and Unique String Pairing
The 326ce Baritone-8 Special Edition's extended 27" scale and B-to-B tuning facilitate rich, resonant baritone tones, while its octave-paired D and A strings generate distinctive shimmering textures found nowhere else. Chord voicings and melodies take on a wholly singular character with this innovative string configuration.
Solid Mahogany Construction
Taylor selected solid neo-tropical mahogany for the top, back and sides, which produces a robust, fundamental-focused tone with a touch of midrange punch. The mahogany's dry, articulate voice ensures exceptional clarity and note separation, even when strumming vigorously.
Fast-Playing, Cutaway Design
Like all Taylor guitars, the 326ce Baritone-8 Special Edition features a fast-playing neck, a 15" radius ebony fingerboard and a deep Venetian cutaway for comfortable access to higher frets. The ergonomic body shape facilitates hours of playing without fatigue.
Taylor ES2 Pickup System
Taylor's ES2 electronics capture the 326ce Baritone-8 Special Edition's acoustic properties with stunning accuracy. Featuring Taylor's proprietary behind-the-saddle pickup and preamp, the ES2 system produces a natural amplified tone with exceptional dynamic range. Volume, bass and treble controls allow you to shape your tone with ease.
