SolidBody
Taylor’s driving passion for improving the guitar-playing experience is expressed in virtually every
detail of the all-original SolidBody. It began with
a humbucker design that brought something both
familiar and yet completely new to the electric
world: all the sweetness and distinctive character
of vintage pickups together with the power to
drive an amp. The pickup’s unique sonic character
gave our design team an inspiring foundation
around which every other aspect of the guitar
was developed. A Taylor electric guitar could only
exist if it gave players something truly different,
yet with the same elements of playability, tone,
and aesthetic beauty that distinguish our acoustic
guitars. From our rock-solid T-Lock® neck joint to
an array of pickup options to ergonomic hardware
details like our high-performance aluminum bridge
and tone knobs, the Taylor SolidBody sets the new
standard for a great electric guitar.
