Product Description

Taylor T3

The T3 continues Taylor’s quest to expand the range of tones available to the electric player. Inspired by both the T5 and the SolidBody, we’ve taken the classic semi-hollowbody sound and applied our signature Taylor design and tonal touches, blending our high-definition Style 2 pickups with a coil-splitting application to ...

That progression is beautiful, man.

[GodStrongKid]

Hey you played my savior lives and your grace is enough toward the end there. I never thought I'd hear that in a guitar demo.

[ovorigin]

whats your opinion of taylors bigsby/rolling bridge set up, does it stay in tune when you really bend a lot with it?

also how many semi tones can u bend in each direction?

cheers, never used a bigsby much, but the one I did try went out of tune instantly.

[dognmoon]

@ovorigin

I think it's really important that the guitars are set up properly. I had mine totally dialed in and then decided to go up to a heavier string gauge. It pulled the neck in a little and knocked everything out of whack. Now it's having trouble staying in tune. The thing about a bigsby is that a bend or using the arm can pull it out of tune, but if you give the arm a little tap or a little tug, a lot of times that'll put it right back into tune.

Thanks for this! It was a great help.

[29396]

Amazing :D What's the chord progression you play at the beginning?

[dognmoon]

That's a song off of the cd I'm working on called "Strong". It should be done before Summer.

The progression is A, G7/A, F#m7, Fdim, Em7, D, C# (sus4, then resolve), Bm7, E, and then back to A.

And then you have to make rock n' roll faces and lick the fretboard. haha :)

Thanks for the excellent review of t3

[caprico82]

you, sir, are AWESOME!!!

[dognmoon]

THANK YOU!!!

[TheGlow101]

Best tone I've heard in a while.

[STinBV]

I'm interested in the Mesa Lone Star Special...I'm looking for a high quality amp for my Fender B Bender that sounds like a Fender, but with a feature set like the LS Special. Do you think this amp will provide the spank and twang I'm looking for? THX! GREAT DEMO as usual! [PS: Is the Slave Out a preamp out - to the console?]

[dognmoon]

Yeah, either this or the LoneStar Classic (since it uses 6L6/EL34 tubes). It'll sound more Fendery where this one leans towards a Vox. BUT, if you're a Brad Paisley fan, he uses Dr. Z amps which are Vox-inspired- so you wouldn't be alone.

The Slave Out could go anywhere you wanted I suppose. In this video, I have it bypassed and am just mic'ing with the camera and built-in mic from my MacBook Pro.

[DuskY1991]

I have to get one T3 someday, awesome demo!

[nremondelli]

How do you like the M13 with the Lonestar?

[dognmoon]

It's great. Both are pretty sparkly, though, so it's nice to roll off some of the highs on the amp just to make it feel a little more full.

[ammalato]

Hey man,

Been watching all your demos and loving them. Can you post a picture or send me one showing me your boost comp settings on the m13? I'd love to set mine like yours

[dognmoon]

I just saw this. Sorry for the 2-month delay...

I keep the comp setting at about 50%. The Drive is way down low (maybe 10%). I don't touch the bass or treble but I push the output almost all the way up. I try to make it so that the effect on is the same volume as my loudest playing when the effect is bypassed.

[jordantracy]

Hey bro, I actually just ordered my T3/b, but i noticed you have offset inlays... my dealer told me that Taylor refused to do ANYTHING custom on the T3's yet...not even a custom inlay... how did you get yours with the offset inlays?

[dognmoon]

This one is a prototype model that was built while they were still sussing out the options. This one originally had the pickup selector down past the tone knob, but they put a black plastic plug over it and moved it up to the top horn (where the production models have them now).

[jomomattew]

Thanks man. That was one of the best, most thorough demo vids I've ever seen. Really helps for those of us too far from a decent music store to try one first hand.

[charlesfelixmagnus]

I've heard that the bigsby makes it go out of tune. Have you found it to be so?

[dognmoon]

Normally, Bigsby vibratos DO have tuning issues. But on the Taylor, they're using a 1) roller saddle and 2) a Tusq nut that is injected with Teflon when it is in the manufacturing process to cut down on friction up near the headstock.

This one stays in tune really well. You see me using it all through this continuous video and there are no edits (and no retuning!).

[charlesfelixmagnus]

Ok thanks. How long have you been playing?

[dognmoon]

I started in the 7th grade and I'm 35 now. About 23/24 years.

[Tooke2]

Thanks for the reply too. I am really interested in the t3/b. Is it everything it's made out to be. It looks amazing and sounds awesome too.

[dognmoon]

It's a fantastic guitar. It's well-made and plays as easily as any other Taylor out there.

[Tooke2]

Your my new guitar hero !!! How many years of practice and no girlfriends does it take to get that good?

[dognmoon]

I started in the 7th grade. Didn't really get a girl 'til I was a senior in high school. I'm 35 now. Lots of years of practice (I still play for a couple of hours a day, not counting gigs).

Thanks so much for your kind words. They make it all seem worthwhile. :)

[RomanSidorov]

is that an m13?

[dognmoon]

yup. what you're hearing is just guitar into amp, though. The M13 is bypassed except for the little section where I turn on the compressor. It's a really great pedalboard solution. I use it for both local gigs and travel gigs.

[dognmoon]

it takes years and years of no girlfriends... haha

[wegledude85]

darn, thats exactly what i was afraid of

[wegledude85]

where can i learn to play like this?

[stevierayvaughn7]

wow these are amazing guitars i really want one taylors are some of the best

[hulker122]

Great overview of this amazing guitar's stuff! Thanks much!

[xdivinebladex]

just wondering, with all these awesome electric guitars in your arsenal, do u have any nice acoustic guitars in your army?

[dognmoon]

I have a nice Build To Order Taylor one-of-a-kind Grand Symphony. It's pretty nice. I'm blessed, that's for sure. I don't deserve the nice stuff I have.

[xdivinebladex]

sweeeeeeeeet. eh, we all dont deserve the things we have. at least you're using them to serve Him :]

[Jonathanrsullivan]

Please give me more of this guitar.

Also I think I heard some "Your grace is enough" in there

[dognmoon]

I will try. I'm out on the road right now, but once I get back, there will be more.

And yes, you did. :)

[colbys1019]

So do you like the lonestar better than the rebel?

[dognmoon]

it's just a different thing. Roughly the same size, but this one has 2 channels, solo boost for each channel, reverb for each chanel, switchable fx loop, and a bunch of eq options. But it's also 3x as expensive.

[xdivinebladex]

quick question about the m13, is the 1.5 patch out yet? the forums on the site seem a little screwy and i cant find any word on it.

[dognmoon]

it's being beta tested right now. should be out in the next week or so.

[xdivinebladex]

awesome

and its about time...

[sologtrstewie]

what are you playing at around 5:50?

my wife and I where singing along!!

we forgot the name of the song!

[dognmoon]

"Your Grace Is Enough", Chris Tomlin.

[xdivinebladex]

that is a sick guitar. i saw it at the namm show vids and was so buzzing to see someone play it. how does it compare to other guitars youve played?

[dognmoon]

It really plays great. Very smooth. And while the T5 leans towards acoustic, this T3 has no acoustic settings at all. It's just a really great, full-sounding semi-hollow guitar.

[xdivinebladex]

awesome. sounds great. haha, i recognize the song at 5:51 :D

[dognmoon]

haha- ...throwing that stuff in under the radar. :)

[matt7tele]

yeah i was able to watch it. it took me a few tries but it finally allowed it.

sorry for the troubles man thats never fun

but you are an awesome player

[matt7tele]

that thing sounds sick!!!!
