In this final installment of our Taylor Video Series, we take a look at maybe one of the most important factors that goes into guitar building that is usually overlooked - SUSTAINABILITY.
It's no secret that the primary material of guitar building, wood, is becoming more and more rare, especially when it comes to certain species. This is why Taylor Guitars have revolutionised the game when it comes to alternative woods to not only help the planet, but also keep us fussy guitar players happy for years to come!
Big thanks to Bob Taylor (President of Taylor), Andy Powers (CEO of Taylor), Scott Paul (Director of Natural Resource Sustainability) & John Mahoney (Street Tree Revival, West Coast Arborists)
In September 2022, the guitarguitar team were invited to San Diego, California to visit Taylor Guitars and learn all there is to know about the most popular Acoustic Guitar brand in the world. We were privileged to have conversations with co-founder Bob Taylor & CEO Andy Powers as well as many other crucial members of the Taylor Team, shown around Taylor's factory as well as a visit to West Coast Arborists (Street Tree Revival) - one of Taylor's partners in bringing Urban Woods to their product lines. In our time in San Diego, we captured tons of footage to bring you a series of videos explaining everything you need to know about Taylor Guitars!
We'd like to say a massive thank you to Taylor Guitars for having & educating us. A special thanks to Paul & Dylan for their massive efforts looking after us during our visit.
