The Best of What's Around!

With the Dave Matthews Signature guitar slung over your shoulder, you can get out from dreaming under the table and step right onto the big stage! Inspired by Dave's prized Taylor 914ce, the Dave Matthews Signature features custom inlay work and an outstanding combination of tonewoods. It truly is Dave's dream guitar. What makes the Dave Matthews Signature so special, though, is its custom fretboard inlay. The inlay blends elements of Dave's "Cindy" inlay that's featured on his 914ce, but it has a special design that pays tribute to DMB's long-time sax player, LeRoi Moore, who passed away in 2008. Moore was a founding DMB member, and with the Dave Matthews Signature's special inlay, he stays a part of each and every song. You'll see the special inlay between the 11th and 12th frets; then a nickname of Moore's (Grux) is inlaid between the 13th and 18th frets.

If you're a DMB fan, there's no other Taylor for you. In fact, each and every Dave Matthews Signature guitar comes with a custom guitar label and a certificate of authenticity — both personally signed by Dave himself.
