    I suspect if gigging is the qualifier for buying guitars (or any other gear), a lot of companies would go out of business.

    What are you listening to right now?

    I used to get a kick out of watching these sisters play covers on YouTube. They are still very young but they’ve evolved a lot and are becoming one of my favorite new bands. I’m really looking forward to seeing them live. It looks like they have some great energy! Their two latest albums are on...

    Show your Taylor

    You’re going to get a wide variety of answers for this. It really depends on what you’re looking for and whether you use a pick or fingers. Also, if you are looking for a Martin sound, you aren’t going to find it in a Taylor. That said, the 814CE Builders Edition is the model that fit me best...

    Show your Taylor

    My T5Z is slightly neck heavy. It’s not noticeable at all with a suede strap but with a nylon strap the headstock will drift down. I often play my guitar without a strap and don’t notice the neck dive as it’s very minor.

    Let’s see your les pauls

    I have an R8 now. The only similarities that it has with an Axcess are that they are both Les Pauls in name and share the same silhouette. Other than that, you couldn’t have two more different guitars. Neck carves are different, headstock angle, bridges, humbuckers, electronics, weight...

    Let’s see your les pauls

    When I was asking about mine, the store manager took me into his office and said, “what do I have to do to get rid of this guitar?” He offered me a great price and said that it was a guitar built for a different era. I remember that I loved the way it sounds and felt. The Floyd had a little...

    I’m still getting used to the knob layout as I’ve hit the volume knob accidentally a few times. This guitar has a lot more volume acoustically than I expected. It’s wonderful! Considering how easy it is to play, I bet that 12-string is a joy to play compared to other 12s.

    When I strum this guitar, it sounds like it has more strings than it does. I think it’s because of how balanced the strings are to each other. I’ve owned 300, 400, and 500 series Taylors and loved them all.
