Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Taylor’s 657ce adapts the Grand Pacific body into a 10-string, right-handed acoustic-electric bajo quinto. Its solid Sitka spruce top, figured big leaf maple back and sides, and V-Class bracing combine warmth, musical bass response, resonance, and clarity. The deep Florentine cutaway opens access to upper frets. A Fishman Rare Earth Bajo Quinto active soundhole pickup and volume control let it move into amplified performance or recording while retaining its acoustic voice.
Strong match

- Latin music and Mexican folk parts that call for the 657ce’s 10-string bajo quinto voice.
