Prize value: $3,998
Born from a love of tone and a passion for innovation, Taylor Guitars has redefined the possibilities of guitar voicing in its new model, the Baritone 8-String, a hybrid of a six-string baritone and a nine-string guitar. Bob Taylor explains, “We loved the traditional baritone, but missed having some of that upper register. We thought ‘what if we turned it into a ninestring baritone?’ So, we made one. But after deciding it was a little too jangly, we pulled off the [doubled second] string, leaving the third and fourth octave strings. It sounded awesome.”
With a bold, fresh sound, the Baritone 8-String broadens the tonal spectrum, giving players a rich musical palette that promises to uncork new inspiration of musical harmony.
Featuring a Grand Symphony body with a richly hued back and sides of Indian rosewood topped with Sitka spruce, the Baritone 8-String also has mother-of-pearl peghead inlay and delicate diamond-shaped fretboard inlays, a three-ring abalone rosette, and abalone-dotted bridge pins.
And to commemorate this special year, Taylor has inlaid Acoustic Guitar’s 20th Anniversary logo into the headstock.
Premium features of the Baritone 8-String include Indian rosewood binding, a bone nut and saddle, and an all-gloss finish. The guitar is amplified with the Taylor Expression System® pickup and strung with ELIXIR Baritone strings®. This Baritone 8-String guitar is tuned from B to B and features octave strings paired along with the third and fourth (D and A) strings. This feature gives players an extended range of sounds without compromising tonal integrity or playability.
