Love hearing these tales of the growing pains, and the passion that is Taylor Guitars. The world would be a different place, if we didn’t have Taylor’s. So thank you both Kurt and Bob for never stopping, no matter what.
2017 and 04-06 are my favorite years. Engelman spruce, Koa inlays... We record a 06' 710 with a 17' 814ce dlx. The two together are heaven on earth. Bob Zink, Ed and Chris are on the buildsheet. Amazing necks 04-06. Taylor's forever!
Hey guys, it’s super cool to watch this from the perspective of my recent sign-off from TG. Bob, it took 32-1/2 years to learn that you had lived in Va! (Norfolk I guess, your dad being in the navy?) Also, when you mentioned glimpsing your friend’s dad building a classical guitar as a premonition of your future, I had an amazingly similar experience when I was a guitar student at William and Mary and needed a minor repair on my guitar. At my guitar teacher’s recommendation I took it to a luthier in Va Beach, who actually made lutes, which I was tremendously intrigued by, but in no way envisaged myself being involved in. He fixed my guitar on the spot - I don’t even remember what for anymore - and I never saw or heard of him again, but that glimpse behind the curtain stuck with me, and I was reminded of it when I heard your story. Thanks for taking the time to record this oral history for posterity, can’t wait to dive in deeper. -Gerald Kowalski

Thank you Bob and Kurt, for great products and the history in your book. Guitar Lessons. Kudos to the production staff for these interviews, too. 🙏🤩
The enjoyment I get from playing my 310 makes me play more and because of that I am a better player. Thank you for making awesome guitars!
