home | artists | signature artists When the maker and the player combine their singular talents to create a guitar, we call it a "Signature Model". Each represents a tribute to the artist's niche in the music world, to his original style, and to his evolved sense of the appropriate features and construction of a guitar bearing his name. Bob Taylor made his first, the Dan Crary Signature Model, in 1986. Four years later, we introduced the Leo Kottke Signature Model 12-string, which gained a six-string companion (the LKSM-6) in 1996. Soon, we'll be unveiling several new Signature Models.   Flatpicking pioneer. Educator. Raconteur. Thunderation Music recording artist. Six- and 12-string virtuoso. NOT a Taylor clinician. Private Music recording artist. Fingerstyle maestro. Grand Ole Opry favorite. Howling Wood recording artist.
