Taylor SolidBody High Definition and High Gain Pickups

[Newbyrock23]

You drop tuned the second time..... Comparison kinda becomes null and void

[RoxxGuitar]

Would have been nice to play both audio clips of the different pickups, using the same riff back to back so we could clearly hear the difference. I also noticed that you drop tuned the guitar with the HG pickups to make it sound fatter. Not really a fair comparison.

[F3FisGoodforYou]

Shut up and play this dam guitar !!!!!!!!!

[MarkOpee1]

how about chicken picking? Is this also a Country axe?

[cerebrix]

what model is he playing? what options?

[leeasam]

@cerebrix He is playing a Standard with a Tamo ahs top and satin finish. I just put a down payment on one today just like this

[ruchem71]

I bought a T3 last spring and would like to try different pickups. I called the service number you gave and after explaining what I needed 3 times finally got someone who would email me the PDF. All I spoke to were nice, but I still haven't received the email. I'm not going to call again. Taylor should make the wiring PDF available on their website and also allow folks to email them with questions instead of wasting time on the phone.

[270Gmoney]

How much do one of these guitars go for?

[Luwinkle]

Between $1300-2800+, depending on model and options.

WOW I didn't know Taylors sounded that good :O. I used them in elementary school because your factory is like 10 miles from here lol. They were ok, didn't know they sounded this good!

[b6y8n]

[idkilltosleeep]

thats badass, but kinda sucks that you can only use taylor pickups in it

[TaylorQualityGuitars]

Hi,

You can use any after market pickups that you like. Taylor Guitars customer service can send you a wiring PDF, they are available M-F 8am-430pm 1-800-943-6782 .

[valkour22]

@TaylorQualityGuitars I own the standard solid body and it suxx!!! The frets are cut at a 90% angle where if the e sting is anywhere near the edge it falls off the neck!! I showed my teacher and he was like wtf and pulled a custom off the wall,guess what the same thing !! Instead of freaking worrying about changing pickups out YOU SHOULD OF DESIGNED A NECK THAT DOESNT SUXX. DO NOT BUT THEIR ELECTRIC GUITARS !!!! Had mine set by a professional and you can not GET LOW ACTION UNLESS U WANT BUZZ !

[tentativelytitled]

what if you wante to put seymour duncans or gibson or dimarzio pickups in there?

[ToneLounge]

You can put anything in - just call Taylor customer service and they can send you a diagram for any humbucker.

[ratrob]

What a great idea! I've always wondered why you had to solder pickups in electric guitars always thinking it had something to do with sound quality. From this video, it doesn't sound like theres any loss in sound. This is probably bad news for guitar techs out there but good news for us hobbyists who would like to tweak their guitars without fear of screwing something up.

[poplepo3]

@ratrob the reason is thatit was the industry standered way to do it and its simpler to manufacture and cheaper 99 percent of all companys just wanna do the thing that is cheapest for them that still seems like a good buy so they can charge you out the ass for there product (cough gibson) and one thing bout a sauder is it is less likely to come loose during harsh playing of drops unless the connectors are magnetic if you dropped it the pickups may unnatach but for convienence this is amazing

[bobostonepony]

this is fantastic!

[TheGamingGuitarist]

I've never changed a pickup on a guitar before. Is it that easy to swap pickups on other guitars?

[bobostonepony]

no no no no no... it's a terrible pain in the butt.

[k14ce2002]

No.

[rogueguineapig]

On a Les Paul it's similar, but still harder. Taylor electrics are similar to Les Paul guitars more than a Strat. An LP would take longer, prob'ly 2-3 times as long.

On Strat's it's a MASSIVE PITA since you have to remove the whole pickguard and then swap pups, then cram the pots, and wires all back into the guitar. I've done it a few times, and Taylor is definitely on to something.

[beagleguitar]

It's really not that difficult though. The first time you do it, it will probably take you over an hour. But from then on, it won't take long, and it's kind of fun.

[byron361]

Taylor's great. love my 614ce

[taylor410ce]

Damn........... I want one of those so bad!
