Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
This surprisingly unique design might seem hard to place at first glance, but after just a few minutes in your hands you'll be wowed at just how useful this Taylor is! Combining the deep, gorgeous sound of the longer scale and lower tuning with octave strings in the middle of the fingerboard allows this big sounding Grand Symphony to fill out the low end while retaining a sparkling, room filling, mid range and treble tone!
SP Luthier Notes: Setup
From Taylor Guitars
A truly unique voice, the Baritone 8-String complements the lower tonal range by pairing two octave strings with the third and fourth strings, adding a touch of upper-octave brightness without too much 12-string jangle. The result is a guitar with incredible tonal range, perfect for walking basslines and rich melodies. All Taylor baritones feature a GS body and are tuned to B with a longer 27-inch scale length, which maintains normal string tension. Two wood combinations are available for the 8-String: either Indian rosewood or mahogany, with a Sitka spruce top.
