This is the first guitar San Diego’s own Bob Taylor built under the Taylor Guitars brand, completed on November 7, 1974, in a small shop in Lemon Grove, California. It may not look like a legend. It looks like a guitar made by a young craftsman who was about to take the world by storm.
That’s exactly what makes it remarkable. This object captures the moment before a company became a company, when it was still one person, a workbench, and an idea. Fifty years later, Taylor is one of the most respected guitar makers in the world. It all started here, with this.
