Taylor song of the day for 09-16-2016

[Rmz76]

Artist: Andy Powers
Song: Gwendolyne's Dream (short set follows)
Guitar: Taylor 610e

Today's song of the day selection features master luthier Andy Powers. One thing that sets Taylor apart from the other two big builders is that their Master Luthier is actually an accomplished player. It's a bit surreal watching him play on a 600 series guitar that he designed and probably hand built... Regulars on the AGF are very familiar with Mr. Powers, but I'll provide a little background for those new here. Andy Power's is the man co-founder of Taylor guitars, Bob Taylor has chosen to be his successor. Wisely allowing some crossover of responsibility before he enters retirement, Bob Taylor has been allowing Andy to redesign each of Taylor's guitar series. Starting with the 800 series, then the 600 series (featured in these videos). This year he's redesigned the 700 series and introduced Indian Rosewood to the 400 series. The future designs of Taylor guitars will come from Andy. So if you love Taylor guitars or are interested to know more about the man behind them, here are some great videos.
