Taylor SolidBody Standard

Taylor SolidBody Taylor’s solid body electric was designed entirely from the ground up, and features our own humbuckers, bridge, tone controls and body aesthetic. No matter how far you push it, this guitar is right there with you. Growl and girth, spank and funk — it’s yours for the taking. Our solid body tone and supreme playability will inspire you to new heights. Standard An inset, figured Tamo ash top blends a deep golden glow with a toasted sunburst treatment. Or opt for the subtle smooth sheen of a satin finish natural edgeburst. Both versions of the Standard feature Ivoroid binding highlighting the sculpted armrest and cutaway. Coil-exposed Taylor Style II humbuckers unleash a huge, aggressive sound without sacrificing tonal nuances. Features Pickups Our breakthrough pickup design spawned this guitar. Vintage sweetness together with the power to drive an amp gives you the best of both worlds. Aggressive Style II humbuckers define its huge tone. more > Bridge Another fully original design, our sleek, all-aluminum bridge looks great, feels even better, and it¹s ultra-adjustable. Once you lock it down it holds perfect intonation no matter what, and makes those strings sing -- or wail -- in your hands. more > Neck We wrote the book on straight, easy-playing necks. Our innovative T-Lock™ neck joint brings Taylor's trademark consistency and comfort into the solid body player's hands. more > Controls Tone control is the Holy Grail for an electric player. From our five-way pickup switch to our original control knobs, we've given you more tone and made it easier to tweak it on the fly. more > Design Our innovative building methods allowed us to revamp both the look and sound of a solid body electric, from our blend of contouring with binding, to the use of spectacular woods for tops, to our refined use of tone chambers. more > Lonestar: What About Now (LIVE) American country music heavy weights Lonestar appeared in the Taylor Guitars NAMM 2008 Booth and performed a handful of their hit tunes.
