Taylor 2008 Solid body Classic Roadshow Special in Walnut

Builder's Reserve

每次巡迴展, Taylor公司都會帶幾把很特殊的吉他, 今天他們帶了一把Solidboy Classic新推出的三個Single Coil Pickup Solidbody 特製吉他, 特殊點在用真正的整塊Walnut木按照天然的形狀和天然缺陷不去改變做琴身, 上面也許會有一些腐朽的洞, 這是屬於Taylor的Builder Reverse系列(看他們Web site)戲稱為"Wild Thing", 在本月Taylor的雜誌 Wood & Steel 最後一頁有介紹

我早就聽過這幾把特別的琴, 預先叫老Tobias給我留下來, 昨晚馬上當場買下來, 其他幾個老頭也想要, 不過慢了我一步. 老Tobias很夠意思, 給我相當好的折扣價, 我買到此把吉他實在高興(照片如下), 昨晚當場試了一下, 覺得音色不錯.

Roadshow Special: Prototype made of burly walnut.

This particular Taylor Solidbody Classic SC is one of only 56 prototypes constructed of burly walnut. This wood was chosen for its unique physical character, with knots and voids intact.
This is the regular Taylor Classic Solid Body specification.

Classic
Our sharp, modern-retro look features a solid ash body with a vintage crushed pearl pickguard, maple neck and chrome hardware. Pickup choices include either humbucker or noiseless single coil models. The full-output Style 1 humbuckers are clear, spanky, tone-rich and ready to relay your attitude. The new noiseless single coil Classic SC features our Style 3 pickup, which dishes out a full helping of single coil character without the hum.
