The Taylor Guitars Road Show has become “the main event” for Chicago-area music retailer Tobias Music, a NAMM Top 100 Dealer. Held at the Tivoli Theater in Downers Grove, Illinois, the Tobias/Taylor Road Show usually draws a crowd of hundreds, and this year’s gig was no exception. Over 400 Taylor guitar enthusiasts packed the theater to partake in the Road Show fun. Sales reps Mike Ausman and Aaron Dablow were joined by product specialists Andy Lund and Grammy-winner Wayne Johnson, who jammed on just about every make and model. A dream evening for guitar lovers, the Road Show gave players of all skill levels the chance to pick up and play a variety of different models, as well as rare and custom Build to Order models.
