We are always on the lookout for an up and coming luthier with extraordinary talent. At the Newport/Miami Guitar Festival we were thrilled to discover the work of David Taylor, DT Guitars. Al Petteway and I both played his instruments repeatedly and were moved by the gorgeous tone and remarkable craftsmenship. I always look for the voice of a young builder and all 4 of his guitars on display had it, a sign to me that he is for real. What I sense is a powerful modern bass that is round and punctuated along with articulate trebles that willingly sing out the melody notes. These David Taylor Guitars also strum very well and the full sound is suitable for many styles from Fingerstyle to Jazz to Singer/Songwriter and everything in between. David happens to be the son of a wordclass knife maker, Gray Taylor, and carries on his families craftsmanship skills as evidenced by the lovely inlay work and fine details in his guitars. If you've been looking for a young builder to believe in you owe to yourself to learn more about David Taylor and his DT Guitars. This De La Rosa is crafted from rare Amazon Rosewood and Carpathian Spruce and features an armrest Bevel, Soundport, Cutaway, Carved Heel and gorgeous inlay work throughout.
