Taylor Custom 8 String Baritone

If you're looking for something TRULY special, completely different, and drop-dead gorgeous we do recommend that you have a look at this very custom Built to Order Taylor 8 String Baritone. The GS body is assembled from the best Adirondack spruce and figured Cocobolo Taylor had to offer, and features a Laskin armrest, pearl bordered top and matching rosette, and ebony binding. The neck is carved from figured mahogany, and the fingerboard is beautifully appointed with Taylor's early 900 series inlays in pearl. Gold Gotoh 510 tuning machines, an ebony overlay, and 900 series inlay grace the headstock, and bone nut and highly compensated saddle were carefully fitted for maximum tone. This is nothing if not a striking guitar and Masterfully built. The scale length is 27" and the nut measures 1-3/4" wide. Tuned down to B, the guitar has a truly unique voice. The octave-paired 3rd and 4th strings fill out the mid range without the overpowering jangle of a twelve string.
