This Taylor Baritone 8-string acoustic-electric guitar features an Indian rosewood body and Sitka spruce top, abalone soundhole rosette, a tropical American mahogany neck, ebony fretboard with binding, a gloss natural stain finish, abalone dot inlays, an Indian rosewood headstock overlay, an ivoroid binding, an ebony bridge, and a TUSQ nut and saddle. It comes with a built-in gold-plated Taylor tuner, and medium-gauge Elixir strings with Nanoweb coating. A GS Series deluxe hardshell case is also included.

Taylor's integrated Expression System electronics were developed through painstaking research and development. The Taylor Expression System uses three distinct body sensors (two on the underside of the soundboard, and one underneath the fretboard) and an advanced preamp to capture the guitars' natural acoustic richness and dynamics in amplified situations. Bass, mid, and treble EQ controls let you dial in the sound you want easily and precisely.
