The Baritone 8 string by Taylor is a totally unique guitar. It features a 27 inch scale length allowing it to be tuned to B - B which is a 4th lower than a normal guitar and occupies the frequency range in the middle between a guitar and bass. What is special about this guitar is that the 3rd and 4th strings are doubled up with two extra strings tuned an octave higher giving this low and mysterious instrument a 12 string feel.
There are some great looking guitars in the 2013 Fender Select Series like the Malaysian Black wood topped Telecaster (far left) and the flamed maple top Jazzmaster with a twilight burst finish (far right). Both the Stratocaster and Jazzmaster feature Fender’s new “channel-bound” fingerboards where the rosewood fingerboard is inlaid into the maple neck.
