Get The Tone

He first hit the big time using an old Gibson J-50, but today, Taylor is famous for his James Olson model, a small jumbo-sized instrument. However, you’ll need to be feeling very flush if you’re going for one, as they fetch many thousands of dollars. However, any good acoustic will do the job, and newish strings will get you closer to Taylor’s clear tone. I recorded this on my Froggy Bottom Model M, another fine guitar for those after something special.
