Guitars both amateur and professional are likely aware of Taylor guitars, who specialize in hollow-body acoustic guitars. The company produces from their plants in El Cajon, Mexico and Tecate, Mexico that range from entry-level guitars for beginners to ultra-premium professional grade instruments.
Founded in 1973 by a then-18-year-old Bob Taylor, the company first started as American Dream, a small guitar shop which later became Westland Music Company after the owners' ambitions began to grow. The name 'Taylor' finally came about when the founders realized they needed a short, American sounding name for the guitars' headstock.
A number of famous musicians play or have played Taylor guitars, including Taylor Swift (who can be seeing playing Taylor guitar in a number of her music videos), Eric Clapton, Dave Matthews, and Jewel. The guitar company even gained viral fame on the web in the summer of 2009 after a United Airline employee smashed a passengers beloved Taylor, prompting him to write the Youtube smash 'United Breaks Guitars.'

Taylor Guitars are NOT produced in El Cajon, Mexico. They are produced in El Cajon, California. They have a sister plant in Tecate which produces their non-glossy guitars.

Daily Dose of Style is back in full swing and ready to tackle on new fashion dilemmas, season standouts and much more! Today, let's take on a personal issue of mine. The problem: I'm in a wardrobe rut and have been for the past several weeks. You ever have those periods of time where you hate everything in your closet, or absolutely bored of it? Ugh! And since I'm still recovering from my holiday spending (ahem, over-spending), I can't just splurge on new clothes to solve my apparel angst. The solution: Layering! Playing with layers can produce outfits for you that feel totally new. I have to admit I haven't mastered this form of art yet. I need to schedule some playtime in my closet in fact. Look below. This is what I'm taking about. Topping your old dress with a cardigan, vest and scarf updates a once-drab dress... and makes the outfit all the more interesting! How do you layer? Tell me below! Stay tuned by the way for voguetouch Shopping's Guide to Layering coming in February!
