This is SO BEAUTIFUL! The aesthetic, the tone, the inspiration...being a big blues nut, myself, I couldn't help but drool over the prospect of a signature Otis Taylor H13 style guitar, but when it arrived, I really couldn't believe my ears or eyes. It's eye-catching in the classiest way. It doesn't have to prove it's worth, it KNOWS its worth. Sonically, it's rich and direct. The neck is VERY comfortable and round (just my style). Whether or not you're Otis Taylor, this one definitely has songs to deliver.

Otis Taylor is a fellow of the Sundance Film Composers Laboratory and a multi-instrumentalist who has shared the stage with artists as varied as Gary Moore, Buddy Guy and Keb Mo. He is the most important modern voice of Trance Blues. Otis Taylor required very specific tonal and aesthetic qualities for his signature instrument.  As a fine arts professional, Otis Taylor’s vision is a combination of vintage retro and ultra sharp European styling; this guitar looks like an expensive Italian suit from the 1930s. This collaboration has produced a musical instrument that truly reflects the artistry of both Otis Taylor and the Santa Cruz Guitar Company. The OT’s compound radius fretboard allows lightning action while the Sitka Spruce with hot hide glue ensures the substantial power and clarity as described by Guitar Player Magazine: Dimensional and complex immediately come to mind when playing the Otis Taylor. A very rich sounding guitar with impressive articulation and note detail, the Otis Taylor Signature makes you want to keep on playing because it is so inspiring. And that’s reason enough to give it an Editors Pick Award.
