You knew it was the end when they donated 300 units of prebuilt inventory into the school music programs. Better to take the write-off...
The solidbody is/was a fine guitar. Visually very appealing with the nice woods, and the build quality was typical Taylor precision. Tonally, I had an issue in that they lacked personality and character. Transparent tone (good), but didn't have anything that separated it from the pack. I think the issue was, as pretty and easy playing as the SB was, they were about double the price they should have been for what they offered the player.
It's okay. Taylor learned the same lesson that Martin, Larrivee, and most other modern acoustic only guitar builders have learned -- Electrics are a completely different ball game steeped in their own traditions and tonal signatures...
