Taylor AD26e Baritone-6 Special Edition at a glance.

The Taylor AD26e Baritone-6 Special Edition presents a special model of the American Dream Series with absolute premium features for a powerful acoustic sound. The fully solid baritone western guitar in Grand Symphony design has a solid mahogany top, a solid Sapele body and an extra extended scale length for deep, assertive tones with authentic character. And to be able to show this off on stage and in the recording studio, the American quality product is equipped with an in-house pickup system of proven quality and is also supplied in a shockproof, transport-friendly case for maximum safety during storage. The model is rounded off by its attractive design in the form of a matte Shaded-Edgeburst finish, which, in addition to a pleasant colour gradient, also highlights the grain of the woods in a natural way. The noble black bindings and single-ring rosette harmonize with this, while the eye-catching faux tortoise pickguard adds a beautiful visual highlight.

Taylor AD26e Baritone Western Guitar in Grand Symphony Design
The fully solid baritone guitar with the best workmanship: the Taylor AD26e Baritone-6 Special Edition.
Taylor AD26e scale
The extended scale length creates a bass-heavy sound.

Baritone guitar with extended 685 mm scale length

The Taylor AD26e Baritone-6 Special Edition owes its deep baritone sound to its extended 685 mm scale length. The resulting lower tuning makes it an optimal compromise between guitar and Bass and is especially recommended for acoustic enthusiasts who are looking for a bass-heavy sound but still want to stick with the guitar. The required clean intonation is guaranteed by a compensated Micarta bridge inlay, while nickel-plated die-cast machine heads stand for high-tuning stability.

Taylor AD26e body
Mahogany and sapele produce a well-balanced, warm sound.

Voluminous body and selected tonewoods shape the sound character

If the extended scale length is the basic prerequisite for the deep baritone sound, the voluminous Grand Symphony build provides the necessary assertiveness that comes through effortlessly even in busy environments. Meanwhile, the sound characteristics are shaped by the solid mahogany top with its warm tones and present mids, while the solid sapele body adds bright, clear nuances. The result is a superbly balanced, professional-quality Taylor sound that makes for an excellent all-rounder for vocal accompaniment and fingerstyle.


Taylor AD26e neck
Mahogany is a preferred choice for guitar necks in guitar making.

Slim mahogany neck

Thanks to the grippy mahogany neck, the Taylor AD26e Baritone-6 Special Edition also feels great in the hand. Due to its acceptable weight and high stability, mahogany is one of the most popular woods for guitar necks and always allows for a comfortable playing feel. In combination with the slim design with 44.45mm nut width, the picking hand glides effortlessly over the eucalyptus fingerboard, which also facilitates fast chord changes and complex fingering patterns.

Taylor AD26e
The Expression System 2 is an in-house development.

Next-level pickup system

For great stage performances and studio sessions, the guitar is equipped with Expression System 2, which shines with innovation and great performance. This is an under-saddle pickup with three sensors that pick up the vibration of each pair of strings individually, transmitting a pristine and natural sound. For fine-tuning, the pickup also has three potentiometers that allow individual control of volume, bass and treble.

Taylor - The epitome of fine quality

As one of the largest guitar manufacturers, Taylor is truly an authority in the production of first-class instruments. Thus, professional manufacturing by skilled craftsmen results in the very finest products for life, whose value is always maintained - or even increased! This is due in equal part to exquisite tonewoods, which do not warp due to long storage and selected quality and as a result, can hardly be surpassed in terms of high quality. Only spruce, mahogany, cedar or Koa of proven quality are used for the tops. By the way, careful production in combination with the best materials does not only apply to guitars. Guitar bags and all accessories are also of first-class quality. Finally, a conscientious final inspection does not let even the smallest defects pass and ensures absolutely flawless guitars even before shipment.

And that's not all: Taylor also attaches great importance to environmentally conscious actions.

Ebony & Koa: Sustainability at Taylor Guitars

Uncontrolled clearing of forests and overexploitation lead to massively endangered wood species, which can no longer regenerate due to the high pace of mining. These include ebony and koa in particular, whose dwindling stocks and the resulting ecological problems have prompted a rethink at Taylor Guitars.

Taylor Sustainability

Sustainable ebony cultivation in Cameroon

Because ebony's hard, supple texture makes it particularly finger-friendly, it has long been the preferred choice for making fingerboards. Its attractive appearance is also extremely popular for bridges, headstock rests, bridge Pins and Bindings. However, high demand and a thriving black market outstripped stocks, landing ebony on the Red List of Endangered Species in 1994. Moreover, only the jet-black heartwood, which makes up only a fraction of the tree, was used, resulting in a disproportionately large amount of waste in production. In order to protect the forests, Taylor has been working since 2011 with the Crelicam Wood Mill in Yaoundé in Cameroon to promote controlled consumption by processing waste products.

"We need to use the ebony that the forest gives us" - Bob Taylor

Siglo Tonewoods Project

Koa acacia populations have also suffered severe losses over the last 20 years. Unsustainable forestry as well as overexploitation led to a decline that can only be stopped by proactive action and reforestation. Therefore, Taylor Guitars together with Pacific Rim Tonewoods founded the Siglo Tonewoods project, which aims to rebuild the Hawaiian virgin forest. This is a large cultivation area for koa acacia and other species, which allows the use of koa wood on a controlled scale.
