A January 2012 article for American Songwriter magazine states that, "Matthews’ guitar of choice for live performance and composition is the Taylor, especially the 914 CE, which Taylor’s Dave Matthews Signature Model, sometimes referred to as the “Grux” guitar, is based on."
Craig Baker, Matthews' guitar tech affirms that "He has three 914s made in 1999, but his main 914 he bought so many years ago is a sturdy workhorse, the other Taylors Dave uses are mostly more recent ones and the ‘Grux’ signature model.”
