Taylor baritone guitar with deep and layered range
If you want a baritone guitar that opens up a very different register from a standard acoustic steel-string, the Taylor 326ce Baritone-8 LTD gives you that extra range. This 8-string Grand Symphony baritone is tuned to B and delivers a deep voice with plenty of warmth, solid low end, mid-range growl and clear highs.
The 3rd and 4th strings are octave doubled, adding extra width and texture to chords and lines. That makes this Taylor baritone guitar a strong match for singers with a lower vocal range, and it works especially well in a duo setting where bass lines and acoustic parts can be woven together.
Build of the Taylor 326ce Baritone-8 LTD
The solid mahogany top evens out the dark, woody and warm character of the lower register into a pleasingly balanced response. Taylor pairs it with solid Tasmanian Blackwood back and sides, a mahogany neck and an ebony fretboard with gem inlays. The Grand Symphony body includes a CE cutaway, so reaching higher positions feels easier.
With a 686 mm scale length, 20 frets and a 44.5 mm nut width, you get the dimensions that suit this baritone design. Tusq at the nut and Micarta at the saddle fit the rest of the build, along with satin black Taylor tuners, a black pickguard and a shaded edgeburst finish that gives the richly grained mahogany top a distinctly vintage look.
Ready for stage and transport
For amplified use, this acoustic baritone guitar features the Expression System 2, Taylor’s natural-sounding pickup system that captures the rich baritone depth well in live situations. That makes the Taylor 326ce Baritone-8 LTD appealing if you want both an alternate tuning and a stage-ready acoustic.
A brown Taylor deluxe case is included, so the instrument travels well protected. At Magna Music, you can also get personal advice from musicians in the shop if you want to compare how a baritone guitar relates to a standard acoustic guitar.
