Performers who play Taylor guitars
Recording Artists
Performers who play Taylor guitars are not paid to endorse our instruments, nor do we give free guitars to high-profile entertainers to gain "exposure." Like any customers, recording artists purchase Taylors for all the right reasons — because they meet or surpass the most discriminating musical requirements; inspire them to achieve the highest standards in playing, writing, and performing; and excite the senses with their aesthetic beauty. Considering the multitude of exceptional acoustic guitars currently available, it is gratifying that many of the world's top recording artists (and "civilians") choose Taylor.
