Taylor T3 Electric Guitar Natural $2249 The T3 continues Taylor's quest to expand the range of tones available to the electric player. Inspired by both the Taylor T5 and the SolidBody, they've taken the classic semi-hollowbody sound and applied 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 electric guitar. A push-pull tone knob brings two sweeping modes of tone control. What's great about the Taylor T3 is the way it enhances a semi-hollowbody's essential sound, transforming it into a hotrod guitar capable of a wider range of tones as a result of Taylor 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.PickupsThe T3 features a pair of full-size, Style 2 HD (high definition) humbuckers. A three-way switch covers three standard configurations: neck pickup, neck/bridge and bridge pickup. A twist was added using old-school coil-splitting. Pulling up on the volume knob splits the humbucker coils into single coils for brighter, punchier tones.Push/Pull Control KnobsThe T3's volume and tone knobs both utilize push/pull pots, which give players two tiers of unique tone control. Pulling up on the volume knob activates a coil splitter, which in effect turns the humbuckers into single coils. The guitar's three-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 inbetween.Body/Neck DesignThe sapele T3 body is designed as a semi-hollowbody electric. The body is hollowed out except for a solid block of wood that runs down the length of the center. The T3 has no acoustic bracing inside it. The quilted maple top is laid directly on top of the internal block like the Taylor Solid Body. The sapele neck incorporates Taylor's rock-solid single-bolt T-Lock and a precisely milled pocket spacer is used to secure the perfect neck angle. The Taylor T3 has beefier electric-style frets, giving electric players a familiar feel.Check the drop-down menu to the right to select colors and/or other options.Model Name: T3Body: SapeleTop: Quilted mapleNeck: Sapele Fretboard: EbonyNo. of frets: 21Neck width at nut: 1 11/16 InchesFretboard inlays: Mother-of-pearl dotsScale Length: 24-7/8"Truss rod: AdjustablePickups: Taylor Style 2 HD Humbuckers with coil-splitting capabilityPickup Switching:Position 1: Neck pickupPosition 2: Neck and bridge pickupsPosition 3: Bridge pickupControls: Master Volume (pull knob for single coil)Master Tone: Traditional control for first two-thirds, last third |

Sweaty hands?

Bob's thinking was simple: he wasn't going to build a solidbody electric unless he felt there was a real reason to. In other words, he wouldn't put the Taylor name on a guitar that was just another version of what already existed. For this electric guitar to happen, it had to be innovative, unique, and worthy of a place alongside the guitars that electric players have loved for generations. When the design group at Taylor invented new pickups and Bob heard them, he knew the time had come. Starting with those pickups, each element of this new solid body was designed from the ground up.

Need help choosing a professional acoustic-electric guitar?
Hi there. I've been playing guitar for quite some time now. I'd like to start recording soon. First off, i want to choose a new guitar. I would like to upgrade from my Ibanez. I narrowed down my choices to two wonderful acoustic-electric guitar. The first one is the Taylor 314CE. either this guitar or the Taylor 714CE. Which one?
either way, you can't go wrong with a Taylor.... Try out both, and pick the one you are most comfortable playing. You should also remember that the guitar will sound better over time as the wood ages and mellows out, so in essence, brand new is when a guitar sounds it's worst. If it sounds great now, just imagine what it'll sound like in a few years! Happy Hunting and Keep Playing!
