Baja Is The Best Place On Earth With Bob Taylor
About this episode
Michael Emery interviews Bob Taylor about his experiences in Baja and his journey as a guitar maker.
Welcome back to the Slow Baja Podcast. I'm your host, Michael Emery.

Bob Taylor is the Co-founder and Senior Advisor of Taylor Guitars, recognized as one of the world’s most iconic acoustic guitar makers. He and his company have shaped the soundtracks of generations, their instruments resonating through countless legendary songs. Need proof of Taylor Guitars' artistry?

Today, we're talking about Baja. When Bob ventures to Baja—his chosen sanctuary, he brings the same precision, creativity, and sense of craft from his half-century as a luthier.
