Built to reflect the sound and style of Mexican music traditions, the 657ce Bajo Quinto combines a completely unique tone profile with modern Taylor touches to offer a truly singular instrument for adventurous players. The 10-string Bajo Quinto is tuned in fourths to A-D-G-C-F, with the A and D doubled in octaves and the G, C and F tuned in unison. Back and sides of solid Big Leaf maple and a solid Sitka spruce top combine with Taylor's Grand Pacific round-shoulder dreadnought body shape and our tone-boosting V-Class bracing to produce a clear, resonant musical character that sounds unlike anything else Taylor has created. Original Taylor enhancements include a new offset bridge pin/string ramp configuration that allows each pair of strings to sing with optimal touch responsiveness without interfering with each other. The Bajo Quinto takes visual inspiration from classic Mexican styles, with a sharp Florentine cutaway offering access to the upper register, a striking white pearloid double pickguard with a matching truss rod cover, mother-of-pearl Mission inlays outlined in grained ivoroid, ebony bridge pins with green abalone dots, and gold mini-tuners. It includes a Fishman Rare Earth soundhole pickup and ships in a deluxe Western Floral hardshell case.
Grand Pacific
This round-shoulder dreadnought delivers a new flavor of warm, rich Taylor tone.
Big Leaf Maple
Though mostly known as a body wood, maple offers a dry, midrange-centric tone profile when used as a soundboard.
Sitka Spruce
The soundboard choice for most guitars, Sitka spruce produces a broad dynamic range and accommodates a versatile range of playing styles.
Fishman Rare Earth Bajo Quinto
This soundhole pickup’s neodymium magnets yield a warm, clean voice that authentically amplifies the unique sound of the Bajo Quinto.
Florentine Cutaway
A Florentine cutaway comes to a sharp point, creating a horn-like shape. It is commonly used on our Grand Orchestra and Grand Symphony body styles.
V-Class Bracing
Our patented V-Class bracing is a revolutionary new pattern — a new sonic engine — that marks a major shift away from traditional steel-string bracing patterns.
