Dave Matthews Taylor Signature
What happened to this thread? Anyway, the opening of this article describes the guitar as Dave himself is holding it backstage.
It says it has a "crown" from the album art on it and also some "liner notes" or maybe lyrics... The article is really awesome. http://www.acguitar.com/article/defa...rticleid=25222 |

"When you succeed in making something tiny really big, it has that sort of other worldly or bigger-than-I-am kind of feeling. I don’t believe in God but the one thing that transports me in sort of a religious way is music, when it works really well. Not that music’s my religion, nothing weird like that—but it’s the place I get the most noisy comfort." I didn't think of him as Christian but I certainly didn't think of Dave as being completely atheist. Hmm... |
Re: Dave Matthews Taylor Signature
Yeah, I think he's been agnostic for a while. Great read though!

Now, I think we should stray away from this topic in this thread and forum, seeming it is the musician forum. Now I guess this confirms he played a Grux guitar that night, but it still would have been a standard edition, not a baritone one. |
Re: Dave Matthews Taylor Signature
Right. I wish there was a pic of this thing somewhere.

The tab for You & Me is spot on, 100% accurate in there. I still think Acoustic Guitar doesn't compare to Guitar World Acoustic magazine. Sigh, I was so disappointed to see that scrapped. It was the only guitar magazine I liked and read. |

I want Guild to make my own custom guitar.
With RTh on the neck as well as my Man & Dove symbol along the fret board, and my name written in Sindarin on the pickguard with a built in Fishman Aura. |

Re: Dave Matthews Taylor Signature
I really like the way it looks. I thought the inlay was gonna be real showy and it would almost be more of a display/tribute piece, but this looks legit. I can definitely see Dave playing this thing on tour.

I can't wait to get my hands on that

Re: Dave Matthews Taylor Signature
This guitar is barely a signature model at all. For God's sake, the only difference between this and the 914c(e) is that it has a crown and the word "Grux" inlayed on the fretboard where part of the Cindy inlay would normally be. That's not a signature guitar. The DM3MD was a signature guitar. This is a 914c(e) with Dave's name on it.

Re: Dave Matthews Taylor Signature
I heard rumor that he has like a four year contract and every year he will be doing a new inlay. And apparently one of those will be numbered.

maybe if it had a REALLY cool inlay, but it just says Grux, only DMB fans would want one. now, the DM3MD is the right thing, it is a true custom with the sig on it, i can see the desire to have a completely unique guitar. this guitar, not so unique. |

For the most part, you can identify the Englemann Spruce (visually) by its more yellow-ish color (relative to the almost cream-like color of the Sitka Spruce tops used after 2002). I think the headstock on the signature is from the pre-2002 914ce's as well, but I could be wrong. The current 914ce's have a black Taylor headstock, whereas the older 914ce's have a rosewood headstock. So in sum, the signature is a hybrid of 914 elements pre and post 2002, although visually the differences are hard to notice (but they're there). |

However, Dave's top has yellowed a lot due to it being exposed to so much light. The englemann is a huge difference, I prefer it's sound quite a bit over sitka. |

Anyway, if you compare the guitar top in that video to some older 914ce (google 1998-1999 914ce, hopefully there's images to show what I mean), and then compare to pictures of newer 914ce's, it looks as though the signature's top is of the same material as the older models. P.S. I love that bright yellow look of Dave's "beat-up" Taylor. |
