Bob Taylor video interview - 30 minutes of gold nuggets

[Guitarsan]

Check out these Acoustic Letter videos - a 3 part series interview of Bob Taylor at the Taylor factory......

"I'm living in the era where we cross the threshold from 'there's all the wood in the world' to 'there's not any more'."

"You know, I'm going to die, it's getting closer all the time, so we can't depend on me forever, it has to go beyond me".

Bob Taylor: The (Surprising) True Potential of Maple (2 of 3)

"It's not all about the guitar player, (sorry guitar players), it's not all about the business owner, it's not all about the forest, and it's not all about the dealer. It's about this one guitar we make every day (we do this hundreds of times a day)... it's about this one guitar serving lots of people."

Funny, I never thought about Bob's faith, but I knew he was a Christian after watching these by the language he used and how he talked about things. Interesting!

Have a watch and listen....

i believe that there's an expansion of 'In 10 years, we'll be glad we did' to
'In 40 years, or 50, 60 or 100 years, they'll be glad we did.'

4 words -
'More than a guitar.'

Interesting on how Maple is in the works more now than ever. It would be interesting to see and hear one of these guitars. Maybe an all Maple GS Mini in a 2015 FLTD. Might be a bit on the heavy side, tho...

a straight cut natural finish top could resemble spruce, but
then the designation of the GS 12 string models would be, well ...
