Location: 6 String Ranch | Nice wood on the top, probably chambered body, they all are now, firebird pickups, my favorites, tasteful inlays. Shit, I can't believe I just said all those nice things about a Taylor! Probably has a skinny neck and it does have an ugly headstock, there I feel better. |

PS: I seriously doubt Cliff can lay that far up the neck without looking. |

Location: Omaha, NE | Interesting move by Taylor. Just a couple of years ago BT was saying that they had drifted too far away from their acoustic roots (with the then current emphasis on the Expression System and then the introduction of the T5). In response, they came out with the GS series, which are really nice guitars. The GS was of course the shape used for their new 'factory hand built' premium "Robert Taylor" line.
Now a solid body electric, with the "Robert Taylor" headstock shape, and an interesting switch configuration. Knowing Taylor, you can count on insanely good fit and finish (its worth noting that Gibson has been left behind in that regard), dead nuts perfect neck and brilliant grain on the top.
But that still begs the question of "why". Does the market really need another single cutaway solid body electric? I'll be interested to hear Taylor's explanation of why they think their's is better. |

Same with Collings making solid bodies, Why? |

"If you build it...they will come!"
I think it looks nice...Sounds very nice with lots of sustain and growl...Proposed retail: (3 models) Between $1800 for the cheapest model with pickguard mounted electronics and $3600 for the Custom Koa model...
They also have a T-5 12 string model in KOA...
If you're a Taylor fan, you'll like them...if not you won't...
Sound framilar?
:rolleyes: |
