All-mahogany Baritone 8-string acoustic-electric guitar in Taylor’s bold-voiced Grand Symphony body shape.
The 326ce Baritone-8 Special Edition boasts back, sides and top of solid neo-tropical mahogany crafted in Taylor’s bold-voiced Grand Symphony body shape, yielding a shot of midrange punch that retains exceptional focus alongside its powerful attack. The 326ce Baritone-8 Special Edition is perfect for any player looking to diversify their musical toolkit. This model will be especially inspiring for guitarists who enjoy experimenting with uncommon sonic palettes. It can also be a useful tool for singers, providing a frequency spectrum that might be more accessible for those with a lower vocal range. Placing a capo at the fifth fret returns the guitar to standard tuning.
Visual appointments include a satin finish, black binding with a matching three-ring rosette and pickguard, Gemstone fretboard inlays in Italian acrylic, and satin black tuners. It also features a traditional Venetian cutaway for easy access to the guitar’s upper register, along with Taylor’s Expression System 2 electronics for faithful amplified tone.
A Taylor deluxe hardshell case is included for added protection.
Grand Symphony Body Shape
Compared to the Taylor Grand Auditorium, the Grand Symphony has a bigger, rounder lower bout and slightly wider "waist" area. The bigger sound board (top) means more tonal output. Expect a meaty lower midrange and strong treble shimmer. A Grand Symphony is best if you want a guitar with a robust low end, strong volume when strumming or flatpicking, and clear articulation in response to light fingerpicking attack.
Tonewood Pairing
Mahogany delivers a meaty midrange with a strong fundamental tone that is clear and focused, without adding a lot of ringing overtones.
Taylor’s ES2 Electronics
The heart of the Expression System 2 is Taylor’s patented behind-the-saddle pickup, which features three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors. Because the pickup doesn't sit under the saddle, the bottom of the saddle comes in full contact with the bridge, allowing all the nuance of the guitar's tone to come through clearly, whether playing acoustically or plugged-in. Together with Taylor’s custom-designed “professional audio”-grade preamp, this system produces exceptional amplified tone and responsiveness. The Taylor Expression System 2 operates through a proprietary 9-volt battery compartment and easy-to-use volume, and active bass and treble controls.
Features
- Neo-tropical mahogany top, back and sides
- Neo-tropical mahogany neck, genuine African ebony fingerboard and bridge
- Taylor satin black tuners, Micarta saddle and TUSQ nut
- Expression System 2 electronics with onboard phase switch
