Title: How is the Taylor classic?
Post by: csm on January 10, 2012, 08:07:30 PM: I have not been able to find one in Georgia. How are the hd pickups. I also want to know how the neck felt vs their taylor acoustics?

But guitars are very personal things, and with the wide breadth of electrics available (far broader than acoustics), along with the myriad of electonics which define a guit's tone and dynamics, asking "how" is the Taylor SB is somewhat of an impossible question to answer apart from the objective, "it's a quality instrument." FWIW, I like them well enough, but not enough to own one ...likely due to the fact my brain is rooted in the Strat and Les Paul as rock machines. Personality ...go figure :)

all standard electric models (T5, SB-C/S & T3)
have always had ebony fretboards

Post by: Sword Bringer on May 04, 2012, 09:35:52 AM: I find the neck to be faster than the acoustic neck, but I guess that's to be expected. I'm know the dimensions are different.

I really want to get the pickguard loaded with the classic humbuckers, which I understand have more bite and presence that the half bucker.. Is it as easy to change the pickguard as they say it is?
