The Somos 260ce-K DLX Bajo Quinto is the bajo quinto in Hawaiian koa: a solid koa top on layered koa back and sides, in a cutaway Dreadnought with a gloss finish and shaded edgeburst. Its ten strings are tuned A-D-G-C-F, with octave pairs on the low courses and unison pairs on top. Taylor voices it warm and textured, with C-Class bracing adding volume, sustain and better intonation.
The 200 Deluxe Series appointments are Sentinel inlays, a single-ring rosette and gold Taylor tuners, and the slim neck has a 1-7/8" nut. An EMG ACS pickup is fitted, and it comes with a deluxe hardshell case.
For the same tuning in gloss black over maple, look at the Somos 250ce Plus BLK Bajo Quinto. The koa 12-string version is the Somos 260ce-K DLX Doce Doble.
