One of Dave Matthews' Taylor acoustics is a 12 string walnut guitar. "It sounds really big," Matthews' guitar tech says at (5:10) in this Premier Guitar interview.
El piano de la casa... Me la trajo Gustavo en el 92/93. El se fue de gira y le pedi que me traiga una electrica de 12 cuerdas... y el volvio con esta y me dijo Mira, la verdad que no vi ninguna electrica que estuviera a nivel de lo que necesitamos, pero vi esta Taylor y me parece que te va a venir bien, es una linda guitarra para componer y esta muy buena... Asique imaginate, me la eligio el y... No la saco de casa, de estudio a casa y muy rara vez la saco al escenario, muy querida, la use muchisimo para componer, como me recomendo mi amigo.
