Taylor Guitars Seeks Stories from Players and Fans
PRESS RELEASE
EL CAJON, Calif. – October 17, 2012 – Every guitar has a story and Taylor Guitars wants to hear it. On the heels of the company’s 38th anniversary, Taylor is inviting fans and owners to share their Taylor tales through a new online platform called, appropriately, Taylor Stories. Located on the Taylor Guitars website, the feature enables fans to submit their Taylor anecdotes, upload a photo, and include a link to a video.
Among the first round of stories is an account of an 810 which was wounded during a California earthquake but went on to become a hit machine; a reflection on how a Big Baby made an immediate impact and provided solace during difficult times; and the remarkable recovery of a 414ce and its owner after both were injured during a monstrous tornado.
Story submissions can be made directly through www.taylorguitars.com/taylor-stories
upon the acceptance of the terms and conditions. While on the site, visitors can also check out the Taylor Sessions page, where artists including Shinedown, Jason Mraz, Blackberry Smoke and others perform their hits, and in a few cases, share their own Taylor story.

Hi! I'm Peter Hodgson. I write for Gibson.com, Australian Guitar, Australian Musician, Mixdown Magazine (including my instructional column, 'Unleash Your Inner Rock God,' which has been running since 2007), Blunt, Beat (including their weekly hard rock/metal column Crunch) and The Brag. And I'm Assistant Social Coordinator with Seymour Duncan.
I've been playing guitar since I was 8 years old, and I've been writing for magazines since I was 18. I've also worked as a guitar teacher (up to 50 students a week), a setup tech, a newspaper editor, and I've also dabbled in radio a little bit. I live in Melbourne, Australia, and my hobbies include drinking way too much coffee, and eating way too much Mexican food.
You can check out my guitar playing at Bandcamp or on YouTube, and feel free to email me at iheartguitarblog@gmail.com
