  • Mitch Gallagher sits down with Bob Taylor (co-founder) and Andy Powers (Master Luthier) from Taylor Guitars. For Taylor, building guitars is more than just a process, it's a way of life. Construction begins with the selection of the finest tonewoods the world has to offer, then the tops, backs, and sides of every full-sized guitar are crafted to meet the company's exacting standards. Taylor takes the luthier's craft one step further with their innovative NT neck design, impressive electronics, and UV-cured finishes.

    I am SO proud to own a Taylor even though it was stolen recently. I am buying another. This was such an awe inspiring interview. Bob and Andy are a complete inspiration. The sustainable environmental tree and wood generation strategy that Bob so eloquently articulated was totally stunning and impressive. Such a fan. Awesome!

    The most intelligent owner/bosses are the ones who hire the one who can do the things they can't do, better.

    Thank you for this very insightful interview video. I can really appreciate the guitars they build knowing that the company is involved in projects to nurture the growth of the new trees throughout the world. This is one of the most interest guitar talks I've ever heard.

    Nice Job Bob, and to Andy(R&D) Powers. There is no substitute for wooden guitars simply because it is natural and wood grows out of ground unlike fiberglass. Taylor is an icon...

    Necessity being the mother of invention, it’s great to see these guys responding to dwindling resources. I wish they had unlimited resources but, that’s the world we live in now. Is there a way to recycle old guitars? Can they be disassembled? Can old buildings with great woods be used for guitars?

    "It's made of guitar wood" is a really one!

    Great interview. A company that tries to look ahead and stay ahead of their curve. Congrats on them making 40+ years.I do have to disagree that a guitar with no finish doesn't sound good. I have heard an old higher end guitars in age with no finish and they have mellowed with age.Something you can not replicate. You can come somewhat close but not really.Again congratulations on a very successful career.
