| Taylor's sharp modern-retro look features a solid ash body with a maple neck and chrome hardware. The full-output Style I humbuckers are clear, spanky, tone-rich and ready to relay your attitude.
Five-Way Pickup Switch
The switch is laid out in a familiar way, with the neck pickup position located closest to the neck humbucker and the bridge position closest to the bridge pickup. In between the full, fat neck tone and the rockin¹ bridge tone, the middle settings give the Taylor electric its own distinctive voicings.
Controls:
Tone controls on electric guitars are often along for the ride. Not Taylor's. The first two-thirds of the knob rotation acts like a traditional tone control. The last third, especially when all the way at the end, starts peaking the mids, yielding a killer nasal tone that resembles playing through a semi-cocked Wah-wah pedal. It¹s ideal for slide playing, or as a different tonal color for solos or throaty rhythm parts. The tone control together with the different pickup settings give you a whole new set of flavors to play with.
Position 1: Full neck pickup
Position 2: Inside coils of the neck and bridge pickups in parallel (skinny, funky neck tone)
Position 3: Full neck pickup with the inside coil of the bridge pickup (adds fatness and drives the amp a little harder for extra crunch)
Position 4: Inside coil of each pickup in series (creating the effect of a super-wide humbucker and producing a truly unique tone)
Position 5: Full bridge pickup
Pickups
Taylors unique humbuckers balance the sweetness of a vintage pickup sound — where you hear the woods and the ways the guitar is responding to the player — with the power to fully drive an amp without being super hot and overpounding it. No matter what your electric pickup of choice has been, these pickups will appease your sonic cravings, plus dish out some new tonal flavors with the help of Taylor's combo settings and tone controls.
