Just how good is the Taylor Solidbody Guitar?

Welcome to Crimson Guitars https://www.youtube.com/user/C....rimsonCustomGuitars? and Ben's home workshop. In this video Ben is taking a closer look at the controversial (?) Taylor Solidbody guitar. He's going to carefully take it apart, see what makes it tick and then put it back together, maybe a little better.

This guitar will be raffled off and you could be the lucky new owner! https://raffall.com/310492/ent....er-raffle-to-win-tay
