The Taylor Roadshow is an experience that every guitar player should be a part of at least once in their playing time.  It is a great opportunity to get your hands on some really fantastic instruments that you may not ever see again, let alone, play.  We have been a part of the Taylor Roadshow program from the beginning and as our website says Kevin helped to pilot the program here at Guitarworks.  We will be seeing about 30 guitars from Taylor this go around that are not only unique, but also there will be some custom shop instruments that you can buy without the 6-8 week wait on the build to order.  Aside from the guitars, there are quite a few benefits from the clinic side of the event.  Mike Ausman and Wayne Johnson are both very good guitar players with a vast amount of knowledge that will be personably accessible in the clinic.. This is a very informal event where people get to ask questions!  Not to mention, you get to see a Grammy winning guitar player playing on some of the best guitars in the industry. 

Wayne Johnson is a Berklee College graduate that has played with Manhattan Transfer.  He's played on countless studio recordings and with other groups including his own solo projects.  Just watching Wayne play is an experience and when you come to the Roadshow you get to ask questions and get to know him. 

After joining us at the Roadshow, you will be knowledgeable about what the different Taylor body shapes and tone woods. Compare the sound of a dreadnought versus a Grand Auditorium or Grand Symphony.  Learn how the different woods like maple, rosewood, mahogany and koa can change your sound. Hear firsthand the benefit of different tops the difference in projection and overall dynamic range of those instruments. Most importantly you’ll know how you can use them to your advantage. This will all be backed with information on what models come stock with the different woods, and how you can find the right wood and body shape to fit your playing needs.  We know that sometimes when you are looking at getting into a professional level instrument it can be very difficult to figure out what you need to suit you.  This whole experience is designed to help you get past the learning curve and understand your options so you can decide which instrument to buy. 

We will have special pricing available on all Taylor models in the store – yes that includes the Roadshow instruments! We will have financing and layaway available on most all models.  We look forward to seeing you!  Please feel free to stop by our website for more information or you can give us a call at 317-885-1510. 

The Taylor Roadshow will begin at 7:00 PM on the Guitarworks stage and there will be quite a few people here so don’t be afraid to come early so you can get good seats. Maybe even spend a little extra time with that special guitar that is begging you to take it home.
