« on: January 25, 2019, 08:51:05 AM »
The newest "Wood and Steel" pdf is on the Taylor website:

https://www.taylorguitars.com/wood-and-steel

"Grand Pacifics" and "V Class Grand Concerts" are among the topics (I haven't read it yet).

Just got mine in snail mail today. Cool surprises - Orianthi wearing a 816ce DLX and the “tooled leather” looking case for the Grand Pacific’s.

Wahoo.  Mine came in today.  I am sure lots of good reading and new things see that will intrigue me.

It is a very fine publication. I always enjoy the article from Kurt and the mailbag from Bob as well as the whole story on new product. W&S sets Taylor apart from their competition.

I read Wood & Steel for years before I ever owned a Taylor. I'm pretty sure that's one of the reasons I ended up buying a Taylor.

Really like the look of the sunburst GP models with the silent satin finish!

It appears Taylor is going for a wide variety of tone offerings. I know some have complained about the V-Class GA’s lacking depth. It sounds like the GP will speak more to those players looking for a more Martin/Gibson sound.
