As one of the largest guitar manufacturers, Taylor is a true authority in the production of first-class instruments. Professional craftsmanship by trained specialists results in the very finest products that last a lifetime, whose value is consistently maintained – or even increases! This is due in equal measure to the exquisite tonewoods used, which – thanks to long-term ageing and their carefully selected quality – do not warp and are therefore virtually unrivalled in terms of quality. Only spruce, mahogany, cedar or koa of proven quality are used for the tops. Careful production combined with the finest materials is not limited to guitars, incidentally. Guitar cases and all accessories are also of first-class quality. Finally, a meticulous final inspection ensures that even the smallest defects are not overlooked, guaranteeing absolutely flawless guitars before dispatch.
As if that were not enough, Taylor also places great importance on environmentally responsible practices.
Uncontrolled deforestation and overexploitation are leading to severely endangered timber species that can no longer regenerate due to the rapid pace of depletion. These include, in particular, ebony and koa, whose dwindling stocks and the resulting ecological problems have prompted a rethink at Taylor Guitars.
As ebony is particularly comfortable to the touch due to its hard, smooth texture, it has long been the preferred choice for the manufacture of fingerboards. Its attractive appearance is also extremely popular for nut, headstock inlays, bridge pins and bindings. However, high demand and a thriving black market outstripped available stocks, resulting in ebony being added to the Red List of Threatened Species in 1994. Furthermore, only the jet-black heartwood – which makes up just a fraction of the tree – was used, resulting in a disproportionately large amount of waste during production. To protect the forests, Taylor has therefore been working since 2011 with the Crelicam Wood Mill in Yaoundé, Cameroon, to promote controlled use through the processing of waste products.
“We need to use the ebony that the forest gives us” – Bob Taylor
Koa acacia stocks have also suffered severe losses over the last 20 years. Unsustainable forestry and overexploitation have led to a decline that can only be halted through forward-thinking action and reforestation. Taylor Guitars therefore joined forces with Pacific Rim Tonewoods to launch the Siglo Tonewoods project, which aims to restore the Hawaiian rainforest. This is a large plantation area for koa acacia and other species, enabling the controlled use of koa timber.
