Taylor Primetime: Go Live with the Factory Team

We’re thrilled to announce Taylor Primetime, a new video series that brings you inside the magic of designing and building guitars at our factory in El Cajon, California from the Taylor Guitars YouTube channel.

What is Taylor Primetime?

Ever wonder why we talk so much about acoustic guitar body shapes, or why bracing is so important? Taylor Primetime is your chance to have your questions answered in real time by the minds responsible for creating Taylor guitars. Featuring live interviews and audience Q&As with some of our most experienced factory experts, each episode will focus on a theme, with audience questions relayed to guests by host Jay Parkin. You might know Jay if you’re a listener of Taylor’s From the Factory Podcast. Now we’re bringing you the same insight and storytelling in video form.

Watch episodes on the Taylor Guitars YouTube channel.
