Taylor Swift

Throughout the video of Taylor playing Lover in the BBC Radio One Live Lounge, you can see Taylor playing what appears to be a Gibson J-180 Electric Acoustic Guitar wish a custom Lover finish along with custom fret markers. At 0:15 there is a close up of the guitar.

During the start of her Disney+ concert film, "folklore: the long pod studio sessions", Taylor Swift is using a vintage 1959 Silvertone 604 acoustic guitar in her home studio. Later on, she used the said guitar while performing "the 1" and "seven".

In this image you can see Swift playing Johnny Marr's signature Jaguar guitar.

Taylor Swift's Gibson electric guitar, which she can be seen playing in this video of her performance of the song Red (Live from New York City) appears to be a Gibson Les Paul '57 Reissue. The color most closely matches Candy Apple Red. The 2:42 mark in the video provides a good look at the guitar.

The knobs, the pickups (and the trim around the pickups), the pickup selector switch, the headstock, and the neck all match the look of the Gibson Les Paul '57 Reissue. While the headstock on Taylor Swift's Les Paul appears to be missing the "Les Paul" signature, it is an optical illusion caused by the concert lighting. A few angles reveal it is indeed written on there.

One of Taylor Swift's electric guitars of choice is a Gibson Les Paul. No stock model exists that matches hers exactly. Swift's particular model appears to have been modified, the most apparent modification being the refinished body and the applied sparkling beads and crystals.

There are several elements of the guitar that closely match the Gibson Les Paul Special SL. The short height pickup mounting rings on both the bridge and neck pickups, the flat top, and the dot inlays on the neck. Smaller modifications include black knobs and plastics, and possibly different colored tuners.

In 2009, Taylor Swift's signature model, the Taylor Swift Baby Taylor (TSBT), was introduced as a collaboration between the singer-songwriter and Taylor Guitars. The release of this model is a continuation of Swift's relationship with the brand, as she frequently uses, plays, and records with other Taylor Guitars.

The TBST is based on Taylor's Baby Taylor model, which Swift used in her early days of touring and writing songs. She says, "I used to sit in the back seat of the rental car while I was on my radio tour at 16, writing songs on my Baby Taylor guitar... I love the sound, and I love those memories."

In terms of the inspiration and motivation for releasing a signature model, Swift says, "I wanted to share my passion for playing guitar with my fans... For a beginner, finding the right guitar can be intimidating, but this guitar, it's the perfect size. Even if you've been playing for years, it's a great size to travel with."

The TBST has a 3/4-size Dreadnought body, and is crafted from a resilient sapele laminate body with a solid Sitka spruce top. Around the soundhole is adorned with Swift’s custom design, her expression "Love, Love, Love" amongst vines. Her signature is also inscribed between the soundhole and the bridge.

In this video of Taylor Swift performing the song "Mine" live at X Factor 4 in Italy, she is playing a Squier Vintage Modified Stratocaster '70s Electric Guitar. The body shape, pickups, color, neck, and headstock are consistent with this model. The primary difference between the stock version of the Squier guitar and the one Swift is playing is Swift's appears to be missing the whammy bar.

At 6:14, in her Journey to Fearless Documentary, Taylor Swift is playing a song called 'Spinning Around' using a TK65ce Koa 12-String Acoustic Guitar with a traditional jumbo shape. It was her first Taylor guitar and, according to Swift, "the type of guitar she learned on".

One of Taylor Swift's most distinct and recognizable guitars is her Swarovski crystal adorned acoustic guitar. Often named the custom "taylor swift sparkly guitar," it is actually the GS6 Grand Symphony model, which was at once point available from Taylor Guitars. It makes an appearance is Swift's Our Song music video, as well as numerous live shows. This video of Taylor Swift performing "Fearless" live at Taylor Guitars is actually linked to directly from the GS6 page on their official website, further proving that this is the exact model.
