The new 326ce Baritone-8 Special Edition reintroduces players to a truly singular playing experience that bridges the gap between traditional acoustic sounds and specialized tonal flavors. With its B-to-B tuning, longer-than-standard scale and the unique sonic texture generated by the octave pairing of its third and fourth (D and A) strings, this model delivers a rich low-end voice complemented by a touch of 12-string shimmer. The 326ce Baritone-8 Special Edition boasts back, sides and top of solid neo-tropical mahogany crafted in our bold-voiced Grand Symphony body shape, yielding a haymaker of midrange punch that retains exceptional focus alongside its powerful attack. Perfect for any player looking to diversify their musical toolkit, this model will be especially inspiring for guitarists who enjoy experimenting with uncommon sonic palettes. It can also be a useful tool for singers, providing a frequency spectrum that might be more accessible for those with a lower vocal range. Placing a capo at the fifth fret returns the guitar to standard tuning. Visual appointments include a satin finish with a dark stain and a shaded edgeburst top treatment, black binding with a matching three-ring rosette and pickguard, Gemstone fretboard inlays in Italian acrylic, and satin black tuners. It also features a traditional Venetian cutaway for easy access to the guitar’s upper register, along with ES2 electronics for faithful amplified tone. It ships with a Taylor deluxe hardshell case.

Urban Ash has carved out a niche for itself in the Taylor line as a premium back and side wood with a dry, focused midrange and balance akin to high-grade mahogany. Now, it’s debuting as a top wood in the 424ce LTD, a Grand Auditorium crafted with back, sides and top of solid Urban Ash. As a hardwood, Urban Ash delivers a natural compression effect that will sound familiar to players of mahogany or koa guitars, smoothing out the initial attack to yield a remarkably balanced profile across the frequency spectrum. This model serves up the same fundamental focus you would expect from mahogany—the note you play is the note you’ll hear, and the restrained overtone response makes the 424ce LTD a superstar in recording applications. Inside, the V-Class bracing generates its trademark blend of enhanced volume and sustain, coaxing greater musicality and tunefulness from this versatile guitar. Appointments for this limited-edition model match its 400 Series counterparts and include black binding, a three-ring black rosette, Renaissance fretboard and peghead inlays in Italian acrylic, a black pickguard, Taylor satin black tuners, and a natural gloss finish that showcases the natural blonde hue and grain of Urban Ash. It ships with ES2 electronics and a deluxe hardshell case.

  “Playing music is a way of being. Playing an instrument requires you to move out of the normal level of consciousness. If you’re thinking, you’re not playing. If you’re playing, you’re not thinking. If you have problems with your instrument, you’re not going to move out of the thinking zone and into your own world. This is why I love my guitar. For me, it’s perfect.” – John McLaughlin

  The PRS Silver Sky is the result of a close collaboration between Grammy Award-winning musician John Mayer and Paul Reed Smith. More than two and half years in the making, the Silver Sky is a vintage-inspired instrument that is at once familiar but also newly PRS through and through. This model was based off of Mayer and Smith's favorite elements from 1963 and 1964 vintage instruments, resulting in an idealized version of a vintage single-coil guitar. The attention that was paid to every detail sets this guitar apart.
  "It's been a dream of mine for years to design a guitar that includes some of my favorite vintage specifications but with a modern spirit and aesthetic. After two years of study and refinement, the Silver Sky is my vision of what a reboot of the electric guitar should look and feel like." – John Mayer
