*** Taylor T3B A Truebrid Electric Guitar - Guitaristpage.com

The T3/B continues Taylor's quest to expand the range of tones available to the electric player. Inspired by both the T5 and the SolidBody, they've taken the classic semi-hollowbody sound and applied their signature Taylor design and tonal touches, blending high-definition Style 2 pickups with coil-splitting capability to give players killer humbucker and single-coil sounds in one guitar.

A push-pull tone knob brings 2 sweeping modes of tone control. Taylor has also paired a Bigsby vibrato tailpiece with a roller bridge on the Taylor T3/B Guitar, giving players a high-performance vibrato bar without pitch issues.

What's great about the T3/B electric guitar is the way it soups-up a semi-hollowbody's essential sound, transforming it into a hotrod guitar capable of a wider range of tones as a result of the pickups, coil-splitting, and unique tone control. All on top of signature Taylor traits you can always count on, like superb intonation and easy playability.

*** Pickups
Taylor's unique humbuckers balance the sweetness of a vintage pickup sound—where you hear the woods and the ways the guitar is responding to the player—with the power to fully drive an amp without being super hot and overpounding it.

The T3 pickups features a pair of full-size Style 2 HD (high definition) humbuckers. Style 2 pickups unleash raw rock power and great sustain without sacrificing balance or great tone. A 3-way switch covers 3 standard configurations: full neck, neck/bridge and full bridge. The T3 pickups also have old-school coil-splitting.

The Taylor T3/B volume and tone knobs both utilize push/pull pots, which give players 2 tiers of unique tone control. Pulling up on the volume knob activates a coil splitter, that in effect turns the humbuckers into single coils. The guitar's 3-way switch functions the same way, allowing you to choose between full neck, neck/bridge and full bridge single coil tones. In its down position, the tone knob boosts the midrange.

Pulling up the knob engages a second capacitor, which mellows the tone without squashing it into a muddy sound. Within that tonal range is a fresh Taylor electric voice: a mellow, old-school jazz tone that's loaded with warmth and fatness. And there's a lot of cool rock tones in-between.

Oh yes. I must say that this demo is very well done. I love Taylor Guitars

A drop dead gorgeous guitar... What amp are you using ? What settings ? I wish you had set a cleaner tone... too much distortion to be able to tell how the pickups sound clean... the dirt tone sounds great with the blues at 4:33... wish the jazz tone ws cleaner... decent rock tone at 5:30... sweet sounds with the Bigsby... The Shadows rule !

Singlehandedly..the best demo of what a guitar can do on YouTube. Taylor should pay you a commission, because I can't be the only person buying one because of this demo.

Honestly, for your typical Bigsby use, it's actually quite smooth and stays in tune better with the roller bridge. Also you get less scratchy noises cause the wounded strings don't rub against a sharper edge of a typical tune-o-matic saddle...

Excellent review
