Taylor Somos 150ce Bajo Quinto 10 String Natural with Gig Bag

The Taylor Somos 150ce Bajo Quinto: Traditional Mexican Voice Meets Modern Taylor Playability

A Bold New Voice for the Bajo Quinto

Taylor brings its signature craftsmanship and playing comfort to the rich tradition of the Mexican bajo quinto with the Somos 150ce. This 10 string acoustic electric instrument combines the familiar feel of a dreadnought body with the deep, commanding voice that makes the bajo quinto such an essential part of norteño, Tejano and conjunto music. Whether you're laying down powerful rhythmic accompaniment or exploring melodic leads, this is a seriously compelling take on a traditional instrument.

Torrefied Spruce and Sapele for Rich Acoustic Tone

The torrefied spruce top gives the 150ce an open, lively response with plenty of projection, while the sapele back and sides contribute warmth and balance. The result is a voice with the depth and presence to anchor an ensemble while retaining the articulation needed to keep those doubled string courses clear. The natural satin finish gives the instrument an understated elegance that lets the wood and classic dreadnought shape do the talking.

Comfortable Mahogany Neck and Ebony Fingerboard

A bajo quinto should feel as inviting as it sounds, and Taylor has paid particular attention to the playing experience here. The solid neo tropical mahogany neck features Taylor's Standard Carve profile for a comfortable, familiar feel, while the Crelicam ebony fingerboard provides a smooth playing surface across all 20 frets. The five double string courses offer the rich harmonic character of the traditional bajo quinto, with octave pairs on the two lowest courses and unison pairs on the remaining three.

EMG ACS Electronics for Stage Ready Performance

When it's time to plug in, the EMG ACS soundhole pickup brings the natural character of the 150ce to your amplifier or sound system. Its internal preamp is designed to minimize unwanted feedback, while individually adjustable pole pieces allow for precise balance between strings. A conveniently located volume control makes adjustments easy without interrupting your performance. It's a thoughtfully designed system that gives this traditional instrument the flexibility to thrive on a modern stage.

Traditional Bajo Quinto Sound with Taylor Craftsmanship

Built in Tecate, Baja California, Mexico, the Somos 150ce represents a thoughtful meeting of tradition and contemporary guitar making. Its deep register, doubled courses and familiar playing feel make it an appealing choice for experienced bajo quinto players and guitarists looking to explore the instrument for the first time. Add in the included gig bag and you've got an instrument that's ready to accompany you from rehearsal to performance. Taylor has made the bajo quinto approachable without losing sight of what makes it special.
