Arguably the pinnacle of Taylor's 35th anniversary commemorative collection, Taylor's Brazilian rosewood series has received considerable attention from Bob Taylor. Bob hand-picked the sets from Taylor's ultra-limited Brazilian reserves and is personally designing each guitar based on the unique characteristics of each beautiful set of wood.

Bob selected the top wood, bracing style and binding individually to complement the Brazilian rosewood used for each model. Among the features all models will share are a sculpted armrest and a fretboard inlay design that Bob commissioned from his longtime friend and fellow luthier Greg Deering, whom Bob has known since his pre-Taylor days at the American Dream, where Bob and Kurt launched their careers. (Deering designed the popular "Cindy" inlay formerly used on the Taylor 900 Series.) Deering's involvement represents a fitting retrospective connection to Taylor's earliest days.

"Greg was there from the beginning," Bob says. "I made instruments with him before Taylor started, and Deering Banjos found their start while Greg worked for our company. He’s an incredible inlay artist, and I wanted this guitar inlay to hearken back to the days of the cool banjo inlays because they were so popular back when we started."
