Taylor SolidBody Classic

[vulture711]

One of the cool things they offer are other drop in pickup configurations. The Taylor necks are great. I bought a mint one on Ebay for $750 and am delighted

[Zubirrex]

That thing sounds amazing.

[CoolParkourName]

crp music lol

[live2rock4u]

Great Demo !!!

[lorenzoens]

Sounds great!! A TvJones- like sparkle tone .

But these solidbodies are some of the ugliest guitars ever seen. I really cannot understand what did they have on their mind when they designed them. They won't ever compete with anyone with this dumb look.

I played one of these the other day at a local shop. Our local shop sells a lot of low end crap guitars, but they do carry a few decent fenders and Taylors. I had never played a Taylor electric and I plugged one into a vintage fender tube amp and within the first 30 seconds I realized the quality of these guitars. It was $1300 which, for the quality, is a steal compared to Gibsons and Fenders. A truely solid guitar on every level at a very reasonable price.

I want to learn guitar soon and haven't even played one yet. I was looking at a $1800 Fender Vintage Telecaster. But after looking at these..I don't even think about the Fender anymore, lol.

[dbsk8r92]

@Luwinkle ...you want to learn guitar by buying an $1800 guitar? fuck off. go buy a squire for 200. you have no need for a good guitar

[Luwinkle]

@dbsk8r92 Someone's a bit of a douchebag here eh?

[Luwinkle]

@dbsk8r92 Also they're 1200, not 1800. And at first I got a Squier (they're not spelled Squire)..and it was a POS..got a Laguna now.

[morgenholz]

@dbsk8r92 It really is not your business to dictate what quality guitar someone buys. Why would someone not learn on a nice guitar if they can afford it? Playing on a good instrument is part of the enjoyment. I have been seeing these exact models go used, in like new condition on ebay in the $700-$900 range.

[grknickp]

i just bought one of their acoustics today and i didnt even play it. i just wanted to stare at it

[sunp]

could you mount a bigsby on this thing?

[guitargirlarkansas13]

one of my friends put a bigsby on his and it sounds amazing!

[MrJackanthony]

@sunp Pardon me but ive heard it a lot. what is a 'bigsby

[sunp]

its a more traditional type of tremolo system, found on all kinds of guitars from telecasters to hollowbodies, even on some acoustics.

[sunp]

@dbsk8r92 i see you've deleted your comment. looks like you realized it was directed to the comment below mine and realized you were the dipshit.

[martinstender]

I applaud the intention here - but please - use a tuner next time ...

[bluesderek]

I don't think it's much out of tune, maybe the bridge intonation a tad off ... but I'd rather leave it like hat - I like the natural chorus effect when the chords ring out :-)

[guitarplayah11]

It's all true! Taylor solidbodies are amazing guitars and those who own them (like myself) are very lucky.

[musicniklas]

Dude your vibrato is very nice! There are so many many people out there who do a vibrato thats just terrible, hectic, uneasy and yours is the opposite of that. I appreciate it =)

[elementboy1234]

beautiful setup. so warm and rich sounding. i have a tele thinline with a deville....but it just doesn't match up to this. you have something great there, my friend.

[reggiebushvader]

I have this guitar and this vid just dosen't do it justice. The quality of sound is un-paralleled. Taylor is going to top Gibson and other top competition in a matter of a few years if they keep this up. They are already the best in the acoustic market.

[tonepatroller]

they will never be a strat or lespaul, those will reign forever, dont understand why any guitar company would waste thier time in the electric solidbody market, sorry taylor but stick with the accoustics, you have clout and respect in that department only........

[EyeRockProductions]

dude you don't know anything do you?

sure strats and les pauls are great, but taylor is known for quality work.

[sunp]

considering the price, they better be.

[EyeRockProductions]

the price of the strats and les pauls or the taylors?

[sunp]

those taylors, they arent cheap. but yeah, gibsons are waaaay to damn overpriced. and i would never buy a new USA strat. maybe people used to buy them for a reason, but nowadays the quality of USA instruments dont convince me to pay that much anymore.

[koflan]

Yeah, because all of fender's and gibson's guitars are just beyond reproach these days...

[TravuhsWree]

You fool, Taylor Solidbodies aren't designed to copy anything.

They are a type of guitar in itself, you need to play it to believe me, I was skeptical at first but it's amazing!

[idahodad1]

This was a very good demo. Now I know the true sound of the Taylor Solidbody.

[lliicckk]

wait till you here it in real life! =]

[wastrel1066]

ok, I`m confused, how can two pickups have a 5 way selector switch?

[blah0584]

It shifts between halves of each pickup or something as well. So in essence you are turning off half of your pickup or something. I don't know for sure. I'm sure someone will correct me. I'm an acoustic person.

[bluesmavin]

very informative. thanks

[matiiguthrii]

i have this guitar, same finish, but its the custom solidbody, the toning isnt any differnt, but the hardware and action are amazing. this is one of the best out there

[jays1201]

are you sure you have the 'custom'? they don't come in a white finish. custom comes in walnut and koa. standard comes in aged cherry sunburst and edgeburst. classic comes in white, red, black, and natural.

[canadianfs]

i have this guitar, i advise you give it a try through a cranked vintage tube amp, the distortion is killer. Such a resonant guitar, the funky bridge seems to give it alot of sustain. The neck is untreated and very fast, what a beautiful insturment.

[PaperMoshe]

Great demo, great guitar.

[gearboxhpc]

I wanna get one of these, but I need a job :(

[saadileo88]

the next big thing after the paul!!

[luno0624]

thanks alot!!

[schaukele]

great tone
