The Taylor Solid Body has been designed from the ground up to create a playing experience that is totally new and unique, yet unmistakably Taylor. The culmination of years of guitar building knowledge and innovation has resulted in an exciting blend of technology and tradition. Less weight is the sole motivation behind most solid bodies that are chambered. Taylor's primary motivation is tone, utilizing chambers to not only lighten the body weight, but also to create the optimal tonal "bloom". The flame Maple top is inlaid into the Mahogany body, allowing for a defined edge with binding and contours up to that edge. The SB-1's Mahogany single bolt precision neck and Ebony fingerboard feature Taylor's hallmark playability and adjustability thanks to it's satin finish and medium c profile. Two humbuckers, specially designed by David Hosler at Taylor, balance the sweetness of a vintage pickup with the power to drive an amp without being super hot. A five position switch unleashes old and new tones; 1 full neck humbucker, 2 inside coils of both pickups in parallel, 3 full neck pickup with inside coil of the bridge pickup, 4 inside coil of each pickup in series, and 5 full bridge pickup. Lastly the all aluminum bridge solves the intonation drift and ergonomic problems associated with other electric bridges with players able to lock the saddles down once adjusted. Specification booklet and original Taylor branded hardshell case included.
