About This Listing

When Taylor introduced their 8 string baritone acoustic guitar , I wondered why no solid body electric versions were built. So here we have the EB-8. The third and fourth strings are octave doubles. This widens tonal possibilities while adding the right amount of jangle. Originally tuned B-B, I've found that C-C (C-F-A#-D#-G-C) works great for first position chords and arpeggiated things. Also can tune down to Bb-F-Bb-Eb-F-Bb (which is DADGAD  for baritones) then,capo at the fourth fret for 8 string DADGAD fun. The body is Mahogany with figured cherry. The neck Is mahogany with a bound maple fretboard. Gotoh tuners, GFS pickups and a Scaller roller bridge.2 volume, 2 tone controls and two mini switches for coil tapping the humbuckers. Nothing else sounds like it and there's only one. Ships with gigbag.
