Volume 61 Fall 2009

Features

The 35th Anniversary Collection
Designed, revealed, delivered, they’re yours. From contoured armrests to a modern day parlor guitar, we bring you a sumptuous spread of anniversary LTDs.

The 8-String Baritone
It sounds weird — until you play one. Bob Taylor’s a big believer, and you should be, too. Part 6-string, part 12-string, part bass, this guitar's range stretches far and wide.

The 2009 Fall Limiteds
We know why you look forward to fall. This year’s crop features quilted maple, cocobolo and Indian rosewood, crafted to perfection and topped with spruce.

Taylor Swift's Signature Baby
Taylor Swift's songs have inspired a generation of young fans. Her new signature Baby Taylor will inspire them to write their own.

Previous Issues
 
Wood&Steel began as a desire of Taylor co-founders Bob Taylor and Kurt Listug to create an informative communication channel between the company and the people who buy our guitars. Since its summer 1994 debut, our quarterly “owners newsletter” has evolved from its grassroots beginnings into a robust publication that covers all things Taylor, taking readers inside the Taylor factory for the inside scoop on our latest guitar developments and out into the world to connect with Taylor players, dealers and others who make up the vibrant, extended Taylor community. From stories about sourcing wood to guitar care tips to Q&A’s with Bob, we strive to share our passion for making and playing great guitars and to chronicle yours.

Wood&Steel is direct-mailed (free of charge) only to Taylor owners in the U.S. and Canada (if you are a Taylor owner in either country and are not receiving Wood&Steel, see our Owner Registration page). Free copies also are available at authorized Taylor dealers around the world, and each issue is viewable online. There is no paid subscription service.
