The Taylor Liberty Tree T5-BR2 is an acoustic-electric guitar crowned with a solid cream-and-chocolate top of tulip poplar. This wood was milled from the Annapolis Liberty Tree, the last survivor in a group of majestic trees once chosen to designate clandestine meeting sites for Colonists plotting the American Revolution. This living symbol of freedom and independence grew on the St. John's college grounds in Annapolis, Maryland, until severe damage from Hurricane Floyd in 1999 caused experts to declare it a safety hazard for students and order it felled. Taylor purchased approximately 80,000 pounds of the historically significant wood, and in 2002 released a limited edition run of 400 Liberty Tree Grand Concert acoustic guitars as a playable tribute to those who struggled for freedom during the birth of our nation.The Liberty Tree T5 guitar features a hand-inlaid revolutionary-period battle banner on the guitar's shoulder and a post-revolution American flag on the peghead. Eleven mother-of-pearl stars on the fretboard, and two more stars on the banner represent the thirteen original colonies. Binding on the body, neck and headstock is figured maple, accented by red, white, and blue purfling. The same purfling outlines a backstrap of Liberty Tree wood. The body's back cover panel is satin-finish maple with a laser-cut inlaid Liberty Tree shape crafted in the tree's wood and with the word "Liberty" etched in lasered script just beneath it. All hardware, including the vintage Gotoh tuners, sports an antique gold finish.Taylor T5 electronics, designed to facilitate moving between authentic acoustic and electric guitar stones, are included.Fifty Liberty Tree T5 acoustic-electric guitars will be made in all. Each guitar will be individually identified by the name of a state and accompanied by a numeral designating the order in which the state entered the Union. The guitars will also come with a special Taylor custom guitar case.

The reaction has become fairly predictable: love at first strum. As with the GA, Bob had a fresh sound in mind that he felt he could deliver through a new shape. The challenge was to create a bolder flavor of Taylor s signature tone without sacrificing balance or crimping the clarity. The deeper, fuller, louder GS boasts a rich, piano-like bass; girthy midrange; and thicker trebles. The extra horsepower invites aggressive strumming and picking, and even if some tradition-bound bluegrassers might initially resist embracing a non-dreadnought shape, the sound has converted many serious flatpickers and flat-out floored scads of acoustic lovers across a full spectrum of musical styles. The power of the Taylor GS is balanced by clear articulation and responsiveness to a lighter attack that welcomes fingerpicking, yielding a broad swath of dynamic range. Within that range, a rich, nuanced topography of expression is waiting to be explored. The depth of tone conveys a sense of instant maturity among players who are attuned to the ways a guitar tends to open up after an initial period of being played. What I loved most about the GS, Acoustic Guitar magazine s Teja Gerken wrote in a review of the Taylor GS guitar, was its openness and the complexity of its fundamental tones- both of which belie its young age. With cutaway and 12-string models now available, the GS acoustic electric is equipped for virtually every application.
