I love crazy guitars with original designs and creative spirit, but I also enjoy no-nonsense simple ones like this Taylor Classic SB1-X with its sober but very elegant line and finish (transparent white is one of my favorite, look at this!) I love the pointy cutaway - it looks like a giant shark tooth, a sharp detail of an otherwise sensually curved outline !
Everything on it is minimal and classy - bridge (beautiful Taylor specific model), mini humbuckers, knobs, only the mother-of-toilet-seat pickguard brings a fancy tone (these guitars are made to measure so one could choose a more discrete one)...

Basically a fancier version of my Richmond Empire :) Very cool guitar though. Traditional, but at the same time, it's own design.
ReplyDeleteit's true that it's very similar to the Empire - same spirit or more ?
