What are the differences in the bodies of the various TCM models?
Currently, there are four different body types available on TCM guitars: Doublecut • Solidbody : either one piece solid mahogany or one piece solid mahogany back with maple cap (Polaris, Polaris Pro, Monarch and Empress) • Semi-hollow : one piece mahogany back with semi-hollow cavities on either side of the body (standard on the Glory, Glory Custom and Zodiac) • Tuned Ported : a proprietary designed cavity with an open port on the lower bout of the one piece mahogany body, with either a mahogany or maple cap (standard on the Royal) Singlecut • Fan Chambered : one piece mahogany back with a series of “fanned” chambers with either maple or mahogany cap (slightly different pattern on the Taurus Custom). Standard on the Taurus, Taurus Custom and Sportster.
