Taylor T3 Hollowbody Electric Guitar in Tobacco Sunburst w/Hardshell Case

The Taylor T3 semi-hollowbody electric guitar combines the incredible thinline body design of Taylor's T5 with a great-sounding complement of pickups and ultra-stable hardware. One strum of the T3 and you'll know this isn't your typical semi-hollow; plug it in and you'll be blown away by the tone - plus the flexible tonal options. This stoptail version features a quilted maple top, joined to a hollow sapele body with a wood block running down the middle. The sapele neck is totally comfy, and two humbucking pickups with selectors and coil taps give you plenty of sound configurations while you're playing the T3.

Taylor T3 Semi-hollowbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • The evolution of a modern Taylor classic
  • Big tone, awesome flexibility
  • Say "wow" to the wood


The evolution of a modern Taylor classicThe hybrid Taylor T5 wowed players with its impressive melding of acoustic and electric properties. Now, Taylor brings the body profile of the T5 to an electric guitar that more than holds its own against the classic axes. Rather than braced hollowbody design, the T3 uses a sapele body with a solid block of wood running down its center. The solid maple top is affixed to both the block and the sides without the need for more bracing. An electric-style solid bridge and stop tailpiece takes the place of the T5's acoustic-style bridge (a Bigsby trem-equipped T3 model, the T3/B, is also available). This full-on electric semi-hollowbody completes a transition from pure acoustic to hybrid to full electric, and, in the process, offers up incredible quality, tone, playability, and comfort.

Say "wow" to the woodJust a quick glance at the T3's figured maple top is enough to make you want to pick it up. Upon closer inspection, you'll find that this great-looking top's depth and stunning figure visually complement its design perfectly - while providing the perfect "snap" to add to the T3's rich tone. From the binding to the f-holes to the chrome hardware and pickup rings, the T3's accents are as note-perfect as its awesome sound.

Big tone, incredible flexibilityIf you're looking for fat jazz tones from a manageable, thinline body style, you've come to the right place. The T3's two humbucking pickups provide plenty of thick tone, but that's just the beginning. You can go with between neck, neck/bridge, and bridge settings, activate a coil-tap for single-coil tones, and even engage a second capacitor for even fatter tone. This means everyone from jazz aficionados to rockers can enjoy the T3's attributes - from cool and restrained to crunchy and rude.

I don't care for the shape of the cutaway or the F holes, but that's just me. I am sure it sounds nice, but I wouldn't play it.
 
I'm sure it is a nice guitar, but I'm having a difficult time not lusting over some of the amps behind it.
 
Beautiful but not what I want. Meanwhile please package those Dr Z amps and ship them my way.
