Guild BT-258 Deluxe Baritone 8 String Click images to enlarge Description I purchased a Guild 12 string in 1975 and I still own it today. That is how it is when you own a Guild, you keep them forever. Check out my feedback to see why so many people buy at my shop! About this guitar: This guitar came directly from Guild to my supplier, it has never been sold retail. It was tested by a team of factory authorized technicians and no issues were found, the electronics work as designed, the neck is straight, and there are no cracks in the body. When we polished the guitar the only blemish we found were a few tiny nicks in the finish on the back. I have included a close up picture pointing to them but they are so tiny they are hard to see unless you are holding the guitar with the light at an angle. Here is what Guild says about the BT-258E Deluxe Baritone 8 String: Guild's BT-258E Deluxe 8-String Baritone acoustic-electric guitar opens up a world of musical possibilities with its innovative design. The BT-258E features an eight-string configuration with a five-step lower tuning that produces a symphonic blend of bass and treble frequencies. The rosewood back and sides provide a solid low-end foundation, while the solid spruce top allows the higher octave strings to ring out with clarity. The result is a harp-like tone that fills in the midrange and adds melodic layers. Eight-String Design Offers Extended Range and Unique Sound With its eight-string design and lowered tuning, the BT-258E delivers a one-of-a-kind baritone voice that spans bass and treble frequencies. The two additional strings expand the instrument's range by two octaves for a layered, harp-like tone. The lower five strings are tuned to B-E-A-D-F♯ to produce rich, resonant bass tones. The higher three strings are tuned to B-E-A, adding bell-like treble notes. Together, this innovative configuration creates a symphonic blend of lows and highs. Rosewood Back and Sides Provide Rich, Warm Tone The rosewood back and sides give the BT-258E a robust, well-balanced tone. Rosewood produces full, warm bass and midrange frequencies that provide a solid tonal foundation. The rosewood also helps project the instrument's sound, allowing the BT-258E to fill a room with its resonant baritone voice. The rosewood's clear high-end response also helps the higher octave strings ring out with shimmering treble overtones. Solid Spruce Top Ensures Articulate Sound Across All Registers The BT-258E features a solid Sitka spruce top that helps produce an articulate, balanced tone across all eight strings. Spruce is a responsive tonewood that provides clear, focused sound with balanced frequency response. On the BT-258E, the spruce top helps the lower baritone strings resonate with depth and warmth while also allowing the higher octave strings to ring out with clarity. The result is a fusion of bass and treble that blends into a cohesive, symphonic whole. Mahogany Neck Offers Comfortable Playability The BT-258E has a mahogany neck that provides a comfortable playing experience. Mahogany produces a lightweight, balanced neck that makes it easy to navigate the instrument's 25.5" scale length and 1.69" nut width. The mahogany neck also enhances sustain and helps project the rosewood and spruce tonewoods. Overall, the BT-258E's mahogany neck offers an accessible platform for experienced players to explore the creative possibilities of its eight-string baritone design.

The instrument could be a discontinued model, have a finish imperfection, or need a minor repair. Who refurbishes your instruments? All of my instruments come from the largest and best refurbisher in the country, where any issue found is corrected by a factory trained and authorized luthier. Does a refurbished instrument have the manufacturer warranty? No, any instrument sent to a refurbisher, regardless of the reason it was sent there, no longer carries the manufacturer warranty. There is a tiny used stamp at the tip of the headstock on the back to prevent an unethical retailer from not revealing that this guitar was sent to a refurbisher. Will I need to set up my instrument when I receive it? All of my instruments have been set-up before shipping, so most are ready to play out of the box. However some instruments may need a minor adjustment after shipping due to changes in temperature, humidity, and getting bumped around during shipping. Payment I require payment within 1 day. I prefer PayPal. If you have no feedback rating, contact me first before bidding, this is necessary because many times folks with no feedback buy and then do not pay.
