I have never held one of these... but to me the bodies look very thin. Looks comfortable.


If you go to the center of the body it is the same thickness as a Strat.

Yes, It is very comfortable to play!!!

Wow!

Chet mate, that is a stunning specimen you have there! That walnut cap is very tasty indeed. 8)

What are the pups like?

Enjoy!

It's not a cap. They call it an "Insert". They route out the body and put in binding then a thin piece of the burl walnut is inserted into the body. It looks pretty cool. I'll try to get a close-up pic of part of it later today.

The pups are pretty decent. I still need to adjust them to find my sweet spot and can give a better description then.

Cool! I've not seen that done before. Very clever. Looks the business! :D

I have never seen that done either.

They did a thin route in the headstock and placed binding in there too.

I love the burls in the wood,it looks like it came from the dash of a vintage Rolls or Bentley and just oozes class-another great buy.

Very nice - not seen a cherry sunburst walnut one up until now!

I've been keen to try a Taylor Solidbody for a while but had no luck so far. I did try a T3 last December and it was absolutely wonderful - flawless construction and finish, exactly as you'd expect from a Taylor. Hope you enjoy your new guitar, man!

Cherry Sunburst? It's the flash that made it look that way.

Wow...That's pretty cool. Never seen a guitar built like that before, I wonder how long it'll be until other companies try to copy the binding method? Seem like something that could catch on.
