This incredible Custom Taylor Baritone 8-String features highly figured Walnut back and sides paired with a premium Adirondack spruce top.
All of the woods used in its construction were hand selected by Bob Taylor himself during a visit to the Taylor Guitars factory by our own Brian Meader to design a series of very custom guitars. Brian and Bob picked out special woods for each, and Brian posed the question to Bob for each: "What would YOU build with this?". The result are the first ever series of guitars to bear Bob's personal signature on the back of each guitar with the custom "B Taylor" inlay.
The result is a truly stunning instrument that sounds even better than it looks.
Adding the octave pairs to the middle strings of a baritone gives it a high end shimmer and chime, giving you the effect of a guitar and bass playing together for some truly unique new voices to your tonal arsenal.
