Taylor 316e Baritone-8 LTD 8-String Baritone Guitar with Hard Case

The inimitable design of the Taylor 8-string baritone, complete with a 27” scale length, is a natural fit for the 300 Series’ blend of fundamental-strong midrange presence and top-end sparkle. Tasmanian blackwood back and sides provide a dry response that focuses the baritone’s deep lows, providing articulation and clarity even at the lowest end of the tonal spectrum, while a Lutz spruce top delivers power and volume. An extra set of octave strings, paired with the third and fourth strings, add a splash of top-end shimmer that makes this limited edition 316e a perfect offering for guitarists looking to diversify their musical arsenal with a truly unique sound. Outfitted with faux tortoiseshell binding, a three-ring rosette, gold hardware, and ES2 electronics, it’s a rare musical option that can open new pathways for players in all styles.
