Most people know the story—how Taylor Guitars became one of the most successful guitar companies in the world. But what’s the story behind that?
Bob Taylor had one goal: to build guitars. If that didn’t work out, his backup plan? Build guitars. It was his passion, his purpose. And Kurt's role? Well - let's just say that everyone needs someone who knows how to maintain a business and keep it on track! A great partnership indeed!
Fast forward a few years, and Bob and Kurt discover that Neil Young not only owns one of his 12-string guitars but also features it in Rust Never Sleeps. Later, Taylor Guitars starts attracting electric players, drawn in by the slim neck profiles, effortless playability, and rock-solid tuning stability. These guitars didn’t just sound great—they played great and stayed in tune.
With the addition of master luthier Andy Powers and the transition to employee ownership, Taylor Guitars is set to carry its founding values into the future. From Baby Taylors and GS Minis to the exceptional 314ce, 814ce, and stunning KOA models, there’s a Taylor guitar for every player and every tone imaginable.
No other instrument company matches Taylor’s commitment to sustainability while delivering exceptional craftsmanship, tonal versatility, and world-class service. At Moore Guitars, we’re proud to represent Taylor Guitars as part of our mission to offer "MOORE" value and "MOORE" for your investment.
