Bob Taylor has developed a model for all manufacturing business in the world. He appears to be a man of solid integrity and devotion to his craft. I'm a very proud owner of two glorious Taylor Guitars. Thank you Bob and MoMM.

There is no doubt Bob could have been big in comedy. I should have signed him when I had the chance as I woodbutchered at the American Dream trying to keep up with the Taylor's and Deerings. Thanks for such a complete capsule of all things Bob.

Just purchased my first Taylor and found this interview while doing research about my model. Bob Taylor is a great storyteller and quite funny.

Bought my first Taylor yesterday, picked up the 356ce 12 string. Well done Taylor, it's a masterpiece. Thank you!

Watched this with my 2nd owner BT2 Baby on my lap. It was like finding out the real parent of an adopted child was a good person and the reason why it is so beautiful and well made. I tried the formica but Taylor wood won me over. Hat's off gents.

I just purchased a Taylor GS Mini Mahogany - it will arrive tomorrow. I'm so excited. I played it in the Guitar Center but ordered it online -- anyway, I would love to be first in line for a Taylor Baritone Ukulele, if you should ever offer them. Taylor makes some truly beautiful looking and sounding guitars. The LOVE.

I've been looking to buy my last guitar, one that will be passed on to my son later. On Taylor's environmental ethic alone, I am buying from this company. Vote with your wallet. Now if I could only decide between the K14ce and the 614ce WHB I would be a happy man.

[@jamesceraso4972]

I own two Taylor guitars. I'll never buy another guitar I found a guitar that I will never get rid of

[@romeovelasco4151]

I owned a gs mini koa and it sounds great. My concern is that the metal used in the frets are soft and easy to wear out. I am not a heavy player and I only play not often, when I noticed the fret being eaten away by the string. Hope you can improve or better yet, replace it with titanium...

[@TonyPelosi-music]

Got a question: that's' the 4th 9V battery (from a different brand) I bought in order to replace in a new Taylor GS mini a client brought that DOESN'T FIT. Duracell, Panasonic, Alfacell and now a Sony one. So, I did some Google and find that's a common bug on your guitars. I'm a senior-almost-retired luthier ( 50 years experienced) and I felt I should express my astonishment. I really love (and recommend) Taylor guitar as good alternative from other top of line brands. That's sad.

[@joshsimpson79]

It’s frustrating because I’ve replaced a Duracell that was in the Taylor with another Duracell and they are different sizes. Why is that? Can’t we come up with a standard?

04/06/2021: Why don't you put a tuner in your guitars?

[@klonklone7787]

If you have a built in tuner it ruins the look & structure imo of a classic acoustic guitar masterpiece. There are tons of clip on tuners & tuning pedals you could still use

[@joshsimpson79]

A few of them have tuners now, IIRC.

[@erickluviano981]

I like Martin even tho the musicians that own them are so damn snobby. They’re good guitars but Taylor’s just sound better for me and I love my new baby Taylor ❤️
