Taylor Custom GS 8-String Baritone Koa: An Exceptional NAMM/Catch Custom Masterpiece

Experience the unrivaled craftsmanship and tonal magic of this Taylor Custom GS 8-String Baritone Koa, a standout piece from the NAMM 2023 showcase. Ultra limited!

Craftsmanship

A testament to Taylor's commitment to fine woodworking, this guitar is adorned with select-grade Koa for the top, back, and sides. The Florentine cutaway not only offers enhanced upper-fret access but also lends a touch of sophistication. Complementing its beauty are the Indian Rosewood binding and the single-ring Paua shell rosette, making this guitar an aesthetic masterpiece.

Sound Engineering

The ES2 electronics render every nuance of this guitar's rich voice faithfully, whether you're in the studio or on stage. With its unique 8-string configuration, expect a lush, chiming texture reminiscent of a 12-string but with greater tonal depth. The lower B tuning and Baritone X bracing further enrich the guitar’s sonic character, providing a wide tonal palette.

Playability

The 27-inch scale length ensures that, despite its baritone range, the string tension remains comfortable, offering an easy transition for players new to the baritone realm. The West African Crelicam ebony fingerboard and bridge further ensure a smooth, effortless playing experience.
