Super excited and wanted to share my just-peeled-the-plastic-off-new 8-string baritone! After playing a Guild baritone and discovering it pairs great with my flavor of finger-style, I traded up to this 326ce yesterday. Still learning new harmonic rolls, different ways to hit the paired courses, and such-- the lower register and pairs have been creatively inspiring. I don’t see a way to upload a short sound clip here, but if that’s possible and anyone is interest, lmk. Cheers!

    Awesome! What kind of 8-string do you play? The taylor is definitely easier to pick up and play like a normal guitar. I think a big part of that is the closer spacing of the paired courses. The guild model set them farther apart, which made hitting individual harmonics a lot easier. I’m going to play it a few weeks at this point, but I’m already considering replacing the saddle to have a slightly wider spacing on the paired strings.
