The Taylor Project – progress report
Hey! So my Taylor SolidBody has begun its journey from disparate bits of wood and metal into becoming an actual guitar! The guitar has been shaped and painted, and the pickup/electronics cavity has been routed. Next up: gloss, neck pocketing, electronics, etc., etc. And before long it’ll look like this!
But for now, it looks like this.

Hi! I'm Peter Hodgson. I write for Gibson.com, Australian Guitar, Australian Musician, Mixdown Magazine (including my instructional column, 'Unleash Your Inner Rock God,' which has been running since 2007), Blunt, Beat (including their weekly hard rock/metal column Crunch) and The Brag. And I'm Assistant Social Coordinator with Seymour Duncan.
I've been playing guitar since I was 8 years old, and I've been writing for magazines since I was 18. I've also worked as a guitar teacher (up to 50 students a week), a setup tech, a newspaper editor, and I've also dabbled in radio a little bit. I live in Melbourne, Australia, and my hobbies include drinking way too much coffee, and eating way too much Mexican food.
You can check out my guitar playing at Bandcamp or on YouTube, and feel free to email me at iheartguitarblog@gmail.com
Looks great looking forward for dealers in the netherlands.
And ofcours what will be the price.
Is there going to be a series of proper build threads on this one? Seems like a wasted opportunity not to get the maximum play out of it. I suppose there’s all likelihood they don’t want their entire build process publicly documented, though.
Swimming pool route?? Wasn’t expecting that from Taylor..
That’s because they offer interchangeable pick guards with different pickup sizes/configurations. This rout accommodates all possibilities.
