Hi, I'm Corey Witt with Taylor Guitars and we're here at S1 Studios in Fullerton, California.
We're talking about Taylor's new six [N] and eight string baritone guitars.
Now in keeping with Taylor's personality of innovation,
this was something that we created as part of our 35th anniversary,
but it was met with such enthusiasm that we decided to turn it into a production model.
A baritone guitar, put simply, is tuned lower than a standard tuned guitar.
It has a 27 inch scale length, but when used with the correct string gauge, it's a familiar tension,
so it's no more difficult to play.
It's tuned B to B, which means it's tuned a fourth lower than a standard guitar.
Now what that means for the performing guitarist is that he or she can play familiar songs and chords
you've known for years, but they're actually going to sound a fourth lower than normal.
To hear what that sounds like,
I'm going to invite Andy London from Taylor Guitars, and we're going to play these things together so you can hear the differences.
Now we're going to get a familiar sound in our ears, two standard tuned acoustic guitars playing together.

Did you [N] hear that?
What we started with was two standard tuned acoustics, and we got that familiar sound in our ears.
And then we switched one of those guitars to the six string Taylor baritone.
Now between those two guitars,
you get three and a half octaves, and you get this nice lush frequency sweep between those two.
Now as guitar players,
we're always looking for ways to pull life out of our instruments and add new [C] forms of creativity to the music that we make.
Adding [C#] a Taylor baritone is a way to do that, again with that low B, adding all that rich low end.
Paired with another player who's playing a standard tuned guitar.
The next guitar
I want to show you is the Taylor eight string baritone.
Very similar to the six string, and then it's the same tuning, the same scale length, the same construction.
But now we've added an octave string to the third and fourth.
All right.
What that means is you get some of the jangle that you would be familiar with in a 12 string guitar.
But since there's not an octave on the first and second or the fifth and sixth, you get a nice clear top end and a
nice strong fundamental low end.
It's really like a hybrid acoustic guitar.
You have the benefits of the 12 string sound on those two middle strings,
but a well-defined bottom end and a well-defined top end.
Because it's a hybrid guitar,
it's a creative instrument and there's lots of songs to be discovered waiting in this guitar.
