Taylor Electrics!?!

Check this out . . .

This is one of the most gorgeous guitars I've seen in a while. The bridge looks superb, and the fretboard is an ebony 15" radius. Shorter scale length, but I bet its a blast to play. Thoughts?

It looks like an Epiphone LP Special 2 that ate too many burgers n' fries.

Fugly!

[elcid]

They are nice, but not $3100 nice. I like the Custom, but the 15" radius bums me out, not sure about the sapele neck and body either.

[ZOMB13]

I know Taylor could of done more with them, but its a start, we will have custom models coming out later on, I waiting on my final judgement on them until I can borrow on for a show, but its going to be pretty hard to beat the T5 im currently using....

They are a bit pricy too.

Wow, awesome, thats just what the world needs, another single cut LP style electric guitar, its like they tried to innovate everything but that. And for that price I think people would rather just buy a Gibson. Please, Please Taylor, just stick to Acoustics, its what you do the best

Except that the standard is more like $1800 and the custom $2300 and i think the "low end" one $1300

[elcid]

I thought I saw $3100 on the Custom, I must've misread the site.

Edit: Nope $3098 for the Custom

Yeah that was my first thought, still would like to hear/play one though.

Than they are on sale at SW

Taylor Custom Electric Guitar
Retail Price: $3,098.00
$2,299.97

[ColinMmmmm]

Well the site says the "standard" is $2300. If it retails for $1500 it could be a sweet axe. I mean thats LP studio range if I'm not mistaken?

[elcid]

I think its above Studio and approaching Classic range

[jim777]

I like the look of the Classic, should be a fun guitar to play. I'm sure they won't trash their rep with half assed guitars.

[surfdog777]

yawn.......

I'm sure they're fine, well made instruments, crafted by genuine artisans from the finest materials yadda yadda yadda.

But,

yawn.........

[TheOrangeChannel]

The "cheap one" or rather white one retails for $1299.00...

[BTB007]

Yep, and $1799.00 for the Standard.

A dude on another forum bought all 3 the day theY came out.
