Have Guitar Will Travel

In a previous life of mine, I traveled across the western United States pouring concrete. I was away from home for weeks or months at a time. What I missed most (besides my wife and kids of course) was playing guitar. I would get home and my fingers didn't seem to know where to go anymore. I decided this was unacceptable so in 2010 I made my way to a local music store in Denver where I picked up a Baby Taylor. The 3/4 scale dreadnought was a perfect solution to my problem. It was comfortable, lightweight, sturdy, stayed in tune, and came with a cool gig bag. For 13 years I have played the heck out of that thing and don't baby it too much (pardon the pun). The more it gets beat up the more I enjoy it. I still have my Baby Taylor and I still bring it along wherever I go. My 11-year-old likes to beat around on it too.

Just when I thought it couldn't get any better, Taylor introduced the GS Mini series. The GS stands for Grand Symphony and was developed by Bob Taylor in 2006. An original design that was an instant hit with players. The GS platform was perfect as a scaled-down travel size as well. Last year I gave one to a close friend of mine as a retirement gift so he can enjoy playing wherever his next chapter may take him.

The difference in size paired with different body shapes provides a range of tones while still offering comfort and portability. With the addition of an optional factory-installed pick-up, players can plug in anywhere they care to go as well. I will never part with my Baby Taylor and when we are lucky enough to add one to our inventory it doesn't last more than a few days and for good reason. So, keep an eye out on our inventory and pick one up for yourself. You won't regret it. Cheers!
