One guitar, engineered to cover the whole map.
This is a personal design study: a single hybrid instrument that aims to deliver believable acoustic textures, expressive single-coil voices, and thick humbucker rhythm and leads, on one neck, built to survive stage use. Every option below is a true-scale, component-level 3D model generated from the same millimeter specification, not a sketch.
Tone is described directly in sonic terms. Pick the direction that matches the sound in your head.
Deeper Chambered Hardtail
$6k–$8.5kThe best all-rounder: real body response under the hand with electric stability intact.
- Airy acoustic-leaning cleans with real bloom
- Woody, vocal midrange when chords ring
- Singing, sustained leads that decay naturally
Triax Unified Hybrid
$7k–$10kThe most complete version: center-block chambered mahogany, bridge humbucker, middle single, compact neck rail, piezo hardtail, and dual outputs.
- Bright electric snap without losing humbucker weight
- Warm rhythm and lead voices from the mahogany/maple platform
- Separate acoustic and magnetic paths for serious stage or studio routing
TX-A22 Acoustic-First
$7.5k–$11kA Taylor-style acoustic body paired with an electric neck, imported Strat STEP headstock, soundhole magnetic voice, undersaddle pickup, internal sensing, blend controls, and stereo output.
- Real acoustic body presence from the Taylor reference chassis
- Electric neck/head ergonomics for familiar stage playability
- Hand-picked acoustic/electric electronics for blendable hybrid voices
Mahogany Humbucker-Voiced
$6k–$9kThick carved-cap mahogany-style body with twin humbuckers for warm rhythm and singing leads.
- Thick, full rhythm chords with weight behind them
- Round, vocal neck-pickup leads that sustain
- Smooth high gain that stays musical, never brittle
Electric-First Hardtail
$4.5k–$7kA fast, modern electric that can fake an acoustic when it has to.
- Glassy, spanky clean chords with quick attack
- Punchy mid-gain crunch that stays articulate
- Focused high-gain leads with controlled low end
Strat-Feel Piezo Trem
$5.5k–$8.5kExpressive single-coil language with piezo acoustic on tap. Vibrato is the point.
- Bell-like bridge sparkle and chime
- Hollow, scooped in-between positions
- Vocal bends and shimmering vibrato swells
Acoustic-First Crossover
$6.5k–$10kA real-feeling acoustic that can plug in and rock lightly. Songwriter-led.
- Full, open strum with genuine body thump
- Fingerstyle bloom and string-to-string clarity
- Fast, crisp flatpicked runs
Dual-Output Studio Hybrid
$4.5k–$7.5kCheapest path to genuinely pro sound if you run external rigs.
- Pristine, low-noise DI cleans
- Layered acoustic and electric stacked together
- Wide stereo spread across two chains
Heavy Rhythm Hybrid
$5.5k–$8.5kTight low end and aggression first. Acoustic is a useful side channel.
- Tight, chugging palm-muted low strings
- Saturated rhythm that keeps note definition
