So now the guessing can start, what the heck does "BT" mean... And the winner is: GGJaguar with "Baritone" !!! (sorry, no price to win...)
Guild just introduced for virtual NAMM 2021:
1) BT-240E Baritone:
"Combining Guild's historically large jumbo body shape and their legacy of pressed back construction, the BT-240E boasts a deep, full-frequency baritone voice to add character to any song."
"Jumbo tone with deep, moody richness, the BT-240E Baritone offers a gorgeous layering of low-end timbre for a unique and mysterious sound. Combining Guild’s historically large jumbo body shape and their legacy of pressed back construction, the BT-240E boasts a deep, full-frequency Baritone voice to add character to any song. The arched mahogany back projects crisp low frequencies, while the solid spruce top provides a balanced delivery. The baritone is tuned B-E-A-D-F#-b, 5 steps down from a standard guitar. Great for filling in an ensemble or for playing standalone, the BT-240E Baritone is a great addition to any player’s arsenal. "

2) BT-258E DELUXE 8 string Baritone:
"Down-Tuned Richness Complemented by two Octaves strings is a match in heaven."
"The BT-258E Deluxe 8-String Baritone offers a melodic layering of low-end harmony for enchanting, harp-like sound. Combining Guild’s historically large jumbo body shape and their legacy of pressed back construction, the BT-258E boasts a deep, full-frequency Baritone voice complemented by two octave strings for added sparkle. The arched rosewood back (dalbergia latifolia) projects whole, low frequencies, while the solid spruce top ensures the high frequency, octave strings blend in gorgeously for a symphonic tone. The low end is great for filling in an ensemble or for playing standalone. The 8-string baritone is tuned B-E-a-A-d-D-F♯-B, 5 steps down from a standard guitar. Deluxe appointments including rosewood back and sides, bound neck and body, and a perfectly glossed polyurethane finish. "

So in case you do not like the Elixir 8string set, you could also add any other set of 6string baritone strings and add single 0.012 and 0.014 as octaves from the brand of your choice. Thomas
