He is a devoted family man, a skilled craftsman, and a gifted musician.

Mike now has an aggressive form of cancer and his friends and family have put up a website in part to raise funds to help the family meet medical costs. Please stop by and have a look, here is a link to the website:

New! R Taylor Case Covers!

Snug as a bug in a rug...a box inside a box inside a box...no, rather your prized R Taylor Guitar inside a case inside a cover!

For the ultimate in guitar comfort, cover your custom R Taylor case in one of these spanking new fabric case covers. With a durable zipper around the top, it has an easy but snug fit and will keep your case, and your investment like new and trending towards appreciation!

Classical Guitarists have used case covers for years to ensure their prized, hand-made concert guitars are protected and have that extra layer of insulation against the elements. They'll make you look snappy.
