657ce Bajo Quinto

Built to reflect the sound and style of Mexican music traditions, the 657ce Bajo Quinto combines a completely unique tone profile with modern Taylor touches to offer a truly singular instrument for adventurous players. The 10-string Bajo Quinto is tuned in fourths to A-D-G-C-F, with the A and D doubled in octaves and the G, C and F tuned in unison. Back and sides of solid Big Leaf maple and a solid Sitka spruce top combine with Taylor's Grand Pacific round-shoulder dreadnought body shape and our tone-boosting V-Class bracing to produce a clear, resonant musical character that sounds unlike anything else Taylor has created. Original Taylor enhancements include a new offset bridge pin/string ramp configuration that allows each pair of strings to sing with optimal touch responsiveness without interfering with each other. The Bajo Quinto takes visual inspiration from classic Mexican styles, with a sharp Florentine cutaway offering access to the upper register, a striking white pearloid double pickguard with a matching truss rod cover, mother-of-pearl Mission inlays outlined in grained ivoroid, ebony bridge pins with green abalone dots, and gold mini-tuners. It includes a Fishman Rare Earth soundhole pickup and ships in a deluxe Western Floral hardshell case.
