Taylor has long been recognized for crafting baritone guitars that deliver deep resonance, exceptional clarity, and effortless playability. This limited-edition 324ce 8-string baritone builds on that legacy with a refined and highly expressive design.
Featuring an all-solid mahogany Grand Auditorium cutaway body, this guitar produces a focused, punchy tone with strong midrange fundamentals that perfectly complement the baritone’s naturally low register. Taylor’s specialized baritone bracing pattern enhances bass response while maintaining clarity and balance across the tonal spectrum.
It is tuned a perfect fourth below standard (B–E–A–D–F#–B), with octave pairs on the third and fourth strings, adding a subtle 12-string-style shimmer without excessive jangle.
Thanks to a slender Taylor neck and a 27-inch scale length that preserves familiar string tension, this guitar offers signature Taylor playability, allowing standard 6-string acoustic players to transition smoothly into baritone territory. From walking bass lines to doubling standard-tuned parts or leading solo performances, it responds with warmth, depth, and definition.
Premium details include Italian acrylic “Gemstone” fretboard and peghead inlays, a hand-sprayed shaded edgeburst top, satin-finish body and neck, a firestripe pickguard, black body and fretboard binding, black/white/black top trim, a three-ring black rosette with black/white/black purfling, ebony bridge pins, and an Italian acrylic Taylor peghead logo. Outfitted with Taylor black satin tuners and an onboard ES2 pickup, this inspiring baritone ships in a Taylor deluxe hardshell case.
