Taylor is excited to unveil a category of doublecourse instruments inspired by the Latin/Mexican musical influences. Taylor Guitars now has their version of the Bajo Quinto executed with the Taylor standard of playability and craftmanship.

Taylor Guitars master builder Andy Powers has applied the same fundamental design standards that Taylor is known for in the acoustic guitar world easyplaying necks, clear, balanced sound, consistently high build quality and reliable performance to craft a bajo quinto that delivers a fun and inspiring "Taylorgrade" playing experience.

Andy leveraged some of Taylor's existing body design architecture to craft a premiumperformance edition of the bajo quinto. It incorporates Taylor's Grand Pacific body style and VClass internal bracing.

One unique design innovation is an offset bridge pin/string ramp setup that allows each string course to be paired together for optimal touch response and resonance but without the strings interfering with each other. The body also features a Florentinestyle cutaway which is stylistically in line with the look and functional upperregister access associated with traditional bajo quintos, though this version is a more modern interpretation.

Distinctive aesthetic details include white binding that outlines the body, fretboard and peghead, a white pearloid double pickguard, a singlering green abalone rosette with black and white purfling, motherofpearl Mission inlays outlined in grained ivoroid, ebony bridge pins with green abalone dots, and gold Taylor mini tuners. The guitar is strung with D'Addario bajo quinto strings (.026.078), comes with a Fishman Rare Earth magnetic soundhole pickup, and ships in a Taylor deluxe hardshell Western Floral case.
