From start to finish, Meg takes a tour of the Taylor Acoustic Guitars Factory over in San Diego, California! She's joined by Jim Kirlin from Taylor, where we go through the journey every USA made Taylor Acoustic Guitar makes, from bare wood getting plained and getting acclimated all the way through to fitting their patented Taylor neck joint and final finishing!

From traditionally matching the wood grain by eye, to huge robotic arms putting the perfect finish and shine on the guitar, Taylors factory is an incredible, unique place with the perfect blend of old school craftsmanship and modern day technology crafting some of the best Acoustic Guitars the world has ever seen.
