Taylor T3/B 2009 - Present - Orange

This Taylor T3/B in Orange is one of those guitars that quietly blows you away the moment you spend a few minutes with it. Taylor doesn’t get enough credit for what they did with the T3 line — this is their take on a modern semi-hollow, and it’s seriously refined.

The quilted maple top on this one is absolutely stunning. The Orange finish has that deep, almost molten look where the figuring rolls under the light, and the cream binding sets it off perfectly. It’s bold without being gaudy. Around back, the matching tones and clean lines make it feel like a high-end boutique piece rather than a production electric.

This is the “B” version, so it comes factory-equipped with a Bigsby — smooth, musical, and perfectly matched to the guitar’s vibe. The semi-hollow body with its carved top and f-holes gives it a lively, resonant feel unplugged, and plugged in it has that sweet balance between warmth and articulation. The T3 platform features Taylor’s high-definition humbuckers with coil-splitting capability, giving you everything from rich, full humbucker tones to surprisingly crisp single-coil textures. It’s a versatile setup that covers way more ground than most people expect from a Taylor electric.

The neck is classic Taylor — incredibly comfortable, fast without feeling thin, and dialed in for effortless playability. Action and intonation are set up properly, and it plays extremely well. It’s honestly one of those guitars that makes you wonder why we don’t see Taylor electrics on stages more often.

Condition-wise, it’s in amazing shape. The only thing to note is a small finish check/crack in the top coat near the f-hole — purely cosmetic and only in the clear. There are also some very subtle extra screw holes in the headstock from previously installed Taylor locking tuners. They’re hard to notice and do not affect functionality in any way. Otherwise, it presents beautifully.

It comes with the super cool Taylor gator skin original hard shell case and the Taylor manual.

Like all my guitars, this one’s been cared for and dialed in—no guesswork, no surprises, just a great instrument that’s ready to play. I personally inspect and test every guitar before it ships, making sure it’s in the exact condition I’d want to receive myself. These guitars come from me, not a shop—each one gets the kind of attention and care only a real guitar lover gives. Ships fast and insured.

⏳ Quick note

These guitars don’t usually sit. Most are purchased within 3–7 days, and I regularly hear from watchers after the listing has already sold. If this one’s on your radar, now’s the window!
