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!
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.
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!
