I love the guitars, but I have very little knowledge of the company or the man.  I found this interview fascinating and informative.  Thanks for sharing...

I enjoyed it, too, especially the interviewer's incredibly strong french accent.

I noticed as Bob continued in the interview he began to start using the cadence a bit...it was funny...

But also very informative and a great interview all the way around.

the French interviewer was confusing me at first. i couldn't figure why he kept looking at his iphone. I'm thinking is he waiting on a phone call or text. Then about half way thru I realized...Oh, he's looking at what questions to ask Bob.  ;D

I always get something new and useful out of hearing from Bob Taylor.  I did not know that Andy is also a Taylor from his mothers side of the family, although probably not related to Bob.
He who loses money, loses much; he who loses a friend, loses more; he who loses faith, loses all.

Great interview!  Seemed so candid and "off the cuff," though the interviewer clearly had questions qued up.  He posed good questions that spanned a wide range of topics; nicely done.  And in typical self-effacing simplicity, Bob answered them all with a clarity, precision, and humility that leaves no wonder as to why he has enjoyed so much success.  Bob and company really are such a class act.  Thanks for sharing!

Just watched this. Great interview. The questions were excellent and Bob did a great job of expounding on his answers. I found it interesting when Bob talked responded to the question about searching new woods to use for guitars, and how it's difficult because you can easily upset the balance and peace in regions by introducing a new commerce around this resource.

I just love this guy! Seems so bright and humble. I'd like to think of Taylor as the Apple Company of guitars.
