==History==
In 1972, at age 18, Bob Taylor began working at American Dream, a guitar making shop owned by Sam Radding, where Kurt Listug was already an employee. When Radding decided to sell the business in 1974, Taylor,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bob Taylor, Cofounder and President of Taylor Guitars Writes New Book about Life, Passion and Business )〕 Listug, and Schemmer bought American Dream and renamed it the Westland Music Company.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Taylor Acoustic Guitars )〕
Needing a more compact logo suitable for the guitars' headstock, the founders decided to change the name to ''Taylor'' as it sounded more American than ''Listug''. Kurt Listug said, "Bob was the real guitar-maker."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.themusicianssuperstore.com/taylor-guitars/taylor-history/ )〕 Listug became the partnership's businessman while Taylor handled design and production. In 1976, the company decided to sell their guitars through retailers. In 1981, facing financial difficulties, Taylor Guitars took out a bank loan to purchase equipment.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/Taylor-Guitars-Company-History.html )〕
As of 2012 Taylor Guitars had more than 700 employees in two factories: one in El Cajon, California, and the other in nearby Tecate, Mexico, where the company has their lower-priced models and cases made. In early 2011, the company opened a Taylor distribution warehouse in the Netherlands to serve the European market. In 2005, Taylor Guitars began also producing electric guitars. In January 2014, the U.S. State Department honored Taylor Guitars with an Award for Corporate Excellence (ACE) 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Taylor Guitars saluted by John Kerry )〕 citing Taylor's commitment to responsible practices in obtaining ebony for its instruments.
