Description
The Taylor 324ce Baritone-8 LTD Grand Auditorium 8-String is a limited-run baritone designed for players looking to explore lower tunings without sacrificing clarity or comfort. Ideal for intermediate to pro-level musicians, this guitar expands on Taylor's already-respected baritone offerings by adding paired octave strings on the D and G-giving it just a touch of 12-string shimmer, but with way more control and focus. It's a great fit for players who want to fill more sonic space in a solo set, or double up with standard-tuned guitars for a layered sound.
The all-solid neo-tropical mahogany body keeps the tone focused and earthy, while Taylor's baritone-specific bracing brings a tight low-end and balanced mids that don't get muddy. It's tuned a fourth down (B to B), and the 27-inch scale keeps the string tension right where you want it. Plug it in and the onboard Expression System 2 pickup captures all of that acoustic detail with minimal fuss, whether you're in a studio or playing out.
It's still a Taylor, so the feel is smooth and familiar. The neck is fast, the Venetian cutaway gives you full access, and the whole thing feels like a guitar you already know-just deeper and more textured. We really like this one for its ability to stand out without feeling like a specialty instrument. If you're curious about baritone but want something that's easy to adapt to, this is one of the most inviting options out there.
