The Somos 250ce Plus BLK Bajo Quinto is a 10-string cutaway Dreadnought in gloss black over the whole guitar, with white binding and heel cap, a pearloid pickguard with a matching truss rod cover and satin black tuners. Taylor took the high-contrast look from its original 600 Series Somos guitars.
Its five courses are tuned in fourths, A-D-G-C-F, with octave pairs on the A and D and unison pairs above, for a strong rhythmic texture. The torrefied spruce top sits on layered Big Leaf maple back and sides, with C-Class bracing for volume, sustain and intonation, and there's an EMG ACS pickup onboard. Taylor voices it clear and balanced with plenty of projection.
For the same tuning with a more understated look, see the Somos 150ce Bajo Quinto; for all koa, the Somos 260ce-K DLX Bajo Quinto. The Somos 250ce Plus BLK Doce Doble is the 12-string version of this guitar.
