TAYLOR UNIVERSITY
Late last year, our friends at Taylor Guitars invited a select few dealers to their facility in El Cajon, California for a visit combined with product training. The highlight of the week was Bob Taylor's invitation to visit his premium wood storage area to select sets of wood for Build-To-Order guitars! Paul and Ken Tobias were fortunate to be able to select two sets of wood to be made into very special guitars. Bob Taylor himself selected the premium spruce tops for these instruments. Paul and Ken picked a Grafted Walnut set and a Cocobolo set. When they returned to Downers Grove, the walnut set was sold immediately and made into a 12 string guitar for a left-handed customer. Paul and Ken then designed a second guitar from the Cocobolo set and the guitar was delivered shortly thereafter. The pictures of the guitar are below! (Another Cocobolo just in!)
The lucky owner of this guitar not only got one of the most beautiful guitars ever offered at Tobias Music but received a CD of photos of the Taylor factory tour along with pictures of Bob Taylor and Paul selecting the most suitable top for this special guitar! Give us a call if you have an interest in an instrument of this quality!
Our friends at Taylor Guitars have worked hard recently to simplify and speed up their Build-To-Order program! We just received modified forms and an updated list of inlay options. All this was done to make it quicker and easier to order the guitar that you have dreamed about (like the example above.) Check with Paul or Ken for details! We'll make it easy and economically feasible to make your dream guitar! Below is another beautiful example of a very special Walnut guitar from the Build-To-Order program (sorry, already sold.)
We encourage all of our Taylor Guitar lovers to stop in to the Taylor factory if they visit Southern California! Here are some pictures of happy visitors and Taylor owners!
