The history of Bob Taylor is truly a tale of innovation, patience, and success. Let’s take a look at Bob Taylor and Taylor Guitars, the 855 12-string, and how Taylor is practicing responsible guitar building today. I’m glad you inquired about this guitar, since Premier Guitar is focusing on “green guitars” this month, and Taylor is one of the industry leaders when it comes to responsible guitar building. I’ve played the 855 and the thing booms like a cannon (in a good way!).

I’d also like to know what the guitar originally sold for and what it is worth today. I’ve noticed that Taylor no longer offers this model, and I’d like to find out exactly what woods were used when it was built. I have a 2002 Taylor Model 855 (12-string) that I bought new, and I really enjoy playing it.
