Individuality and choice. Together they are the foundation of R. Taylor. And at the heart of it all is an original body shape conceived, designed, and perfected by Bob Taylor, Larry Breedlove, and Ed Granero. We call it Style 1. And it is where R. Taylor tone begins.

Every R. Taylor is truly built one-at-a-time. Wood choices, necks, even top geometry and bracing are not predetermined, meaning there is no formulaic model numbering system. The choices are yours, and most are included in the base price of a Style 1 R. Taylor. To get you started, we’ve listed the characteristics and appointments that make every R. Taylor unique, along with our thoughts about each one. We suspect that you know a thing or two about guitars, so we’ll skip "the basics" and get right down to how each feature shapes your unique R. Taylor playing experience. Consult the R. Taylor Menu for pricing details or contact a premiere R. Taylor dealer, who will be happy to walk you through the options.
