In the summer of 2009 Dave Carroll boarded a plane after he had checked in his guitar case at the counter for an United Airlines Flight. During a connection in Chicago, other passengers noticed the baggage handlers tossing instrument cases on the tarmac. Dave’s worst fears were realized. His Taylor had been broken. Dave eventually wrote three songs and recorded videos to document the original disaster, the struggles with airline employees, and amazingly his new found fame as a result of the whole ordeal. Watch the videos for some good country picking and laughs. And always take extra precautions when traveling with your guitar.

I feel confident in saying that over the past decade of catching acoustic guitarists playing in bars and small clubs, over fifty percent were playing Taylor acoustics. The playability and easy to use electronics have made these guitars a favorite among those who could afford them. Taylor is now setting their sights on staking a small claim on the electric guitar market. Share My Guitar has given the Taylor Electric Solid Body guitars a very thorough review. The review covers everything from the case, to interchangeable pick guards, and even audio samples. For around two thousand bucks you get a well made and versatile electric guitar. Check out their review for the full details and decide if you want to give Taylor’s foray into the world of electric guitars a test drive at your local store.
