Whatever happened to him?

I have a 1990 Taylor 555-12 with a satin finish top and gloss back and sides(more recent ones have gloss tops). I hadn't play the thing in several years and recently took it in for a set up. It's kind of like a new toy now and I've been playing it alot. When I'm done playing, sometimes, I've...

Celebrating their 60th Anniversary. All employees were at the factory for the "event". Just thought you'd like to know.
