Road Show ...they're back!

Just went to a Taylor Road Show last night. Back in form, finally: solid demo, they brought a large stable, ended with the "petting zoo." Great show, just as the past ones have been. Highly recommended if one comes up in your locale! I certainly don't need anything new, but it's always a fun night to be able to hang out with nice folks and play some nice guitars!

Interesting as the official site says they're still not on and here's the "schedule" page:
https://blog.taylorguitars.com/events/road-show
(with ZERO upcoming or past dates showing).
I noticed there was a "Taylor Showcase" last night in the Philly area :
https://www.russomusic.com/blogs/news/taylor-guitars-showcase-at-philadelphia-nov-14th-2023
but that's not a "Road Show" per se although this one
https://houseofguitars.com/mc-events/taylor-road-show-2023/
was held last month and while called a "showcase" by Taylor, the vendor is also calling it a "Road Show".
FYI also one in OR tomorrow (also called a "Show Case") here:
https://uptownmusic.com/news-events/2023/11/7/taqylor-guitars-showcase
Maybe it's just semantics but then why hasn't Taylor updated their site? I have no idea.

I hope their site is just lagging. It's a good way to spend an evening!

Yah.. I hope they come my way again. I had a really good time 5 years ago or so when they came to my area.

I have always enjoyed the Road Shows -- been to maybe eight in four different states -- and glad to see them back. I'm not buying any more Taylor guitars, but it is a good way to spend an evening with fellow guitar geeks.

Taylors: 424-LTD (all koa) and a 114ce that lives with friends in Alaska. Low maintenance carbon fiber guitars are my "thing" these days, but I will always keep the koa 424. Several ukulele and bass guitars too.
*Gone but not forgotten: a 2001 414ce, 410, 354-LTD twelve string, 314-N, 416-LTD baritone, T5 Classic, 615ce, 2006 GS-K, 1996 (first year) Baby

Same here, Earl! I am in
zero
need and have
zero
desire for any guits! But it's a fun thing to do. And they
always
do a great job of it.

Wow, there's a long forgotten pre-covid moment for ya. I recalll going to one in Georgia where they demo'ed one of the first "V" bracing models and I honestly could hear the difference in notes being in tune all the way up the neck. It was fun to be in a room with so many nice Taylors I could try out and hear.
Please post when and if the schedule becomes more accurate as I'll likely forget and miss it. . .

I went to one in South Jersey some years ago that was led by Doyle Dykes. Not my style of music, but I was still amazed by his talent. All in all, a really great experience. I'm glad they are offering them again!
