Specialty<br />
A new guitar voice offers a springboard to fresh<br />
musical creativity. <strong>Taylor</strong>’s Specialty guitars —<br />
a Baritone 6- and 8-string and a 12-Fret —<br />
incorporate unique design properties to give<br />
players expressive new possibilities. <strong>The</strong> GS<br />
baritones are tuned from B to B and feature<br />
a 27-inch scale length to give you a deep,<br />
rich voice, yet with normal string tension for<br />
a familiar playing experience. <strong>The</strong>y’re a great<br />
option if you have a lower vocal range or favor<br />
a de-tuned guitar sound. <strong>The</strong> 8-string version<br />
adds two upper octave strings to give you extra<br />
shimmer without too much 12-string jangle.<br />
Expect incredible tonal range, rich melodies,<br />
and a great guitar for walking basslines. <strong>The</strong><br />
Grand Concert 12-Fret features a different<br />
neck-to-body relationship — the neck meets the<br />
body at the 12th fret rather than the 14th —<br />
along with a shifted bridge location, creating a<br />
slightly warmer, sweeter, more “vintage” sound.<br />
For <strong>2012</strong>, we’ve added a mahogany version<br />
of each model to join the original rosewood<br />
offerings, and the mahogany 12-Fret is paired<br />
with a cedar top rather than spruce. If you<br />
want to explore a different version of any of<br />
these models, you can always design your own<br />
custom Baritone or 12-Fret through our Build to<br />
Order program.<br />
