Description
The BT-258E Deluxe 8-String Baritone offers a melodic layering of low-end harmony for enchanting, harp-like sound. Combining Guild’s historically large jumbo body shape and their legacy of pressed back construction, the BT-258E boasts a deep, full-frequency Baritone voice complemented by two octave strings for added sparkle. The arched rosewood back projects whole, low frequencies, while the solid spruce top ensures the high frequency, octave strings blend in gorgeously for a symphonic tone. The low end is great for filling in an ensemble or for playing standalone. The 8-string baritone is tuned B-E-a-A-d-D-F♯-B, 5 steps down from a standard guitar. Deluxe appointments including rosewood back and sides, bound neck and body, and a perfectly glossed polyurethane finish.
