With the Guild BT-258E Deluxe Baritone the US-American traditional manufacturer expands its program with a low tuned baritone western guitar with 8 strings in jumbo size, which convinces with its extraordinary, double chord sound as well as with its excellent quality.

Woods and construction

Thanks to a solid top made of Sitka spruce, the mid and treble frequencies unfold in a very clear and defined way, perfectly complementing the warm bass frequencies of the huge body. The curved back of laminated rosewood vibrates powerfully with every strum, creating a full-bodied saturation and an exceptionally long-lasting tone. A flat mahogany neck with a pau ferro fingerboard provides excellent playability across all 20 frets, which are marked with mother-of-pearl dot inlays for orientation. In addition, a compensated bridge inlay and bone nut provide clean intonation on the long 685 mm scale.

Pickup

In order to also amplify the acoustic sound, the manufacturer installs a high-quality Fishman GT-1 pickup, which perfectly rounds out the functionality of the eight-string Guild BT-258E Deluxe Baritone acoustic guitar.
