Full Description
View Full DescriptionA trio of tone
Sheer sonic excellence. The three pickups inside this guitar give it a supremely dynamic and inspiring sound. You can switch between an acoustic body sensor, concealed neck humbucker, and visible bridge humbucker. Expect the bridge pickup to be punchy and bright, the neck warm and rich, and the body sensor to bring out every detail of your natural acoustic sound and resonance. With these pickups at your side, you can experiment with your sound to get it exactly the way you want. Five-way switching also lets you try different combinations for even more tonal diversity. Make no two songs the same.
Sassafras magic
You can’t beat Hawaiian Sassafras. It gives this guitar a beautiful brightness and midrange punch which ensures you will always be heard. It's also got plenty of top end sparkle for crispness and tightness which resonates powerfully. You'll love the way it brings your music to life, projecting each note with volume. And it’s enhanced by the Sapele neck. As well as giving you a supreme playing experience, this neck is also tonally warm with a little extra top end bite, evening out some of the brightness of the Sassafras. When you’re playing this finely crafted neck and body, you'll never go short of inspiration as your playing is liberated.
Performance freedom
Ebony. It's undoubtedly one of the most sought-after fretboard woods for guitarists. Its powerfully punchy resonance and luscious, dark look make it easy to see why. On this guitar, it offers a smoothness which makes it a dream to play. Complementing every aspect of this guitar's sound and feel, you'll find that it gives you everything you need to play in comfort and style. What’s more, it’s joined by a hollowbody electric-acoustic design that just makes the whole guitar seem effortless to perform with. After all, you’d expect no less from the acoustic giants that are Taylor.
