The Junebug Special

The Junebug Special, named for granddaughter June Peterson, was made possible by a bequest from Lucile Reid Brock (thanks, Mom) and commissioned to Taylor Guitars in the summer of 2010. This unique guitar is made of hand-picked rosewood and cream cedar, with both Taylor-styled and custom green heart abalone inlay (including the "Moon-Over-Texas" cattle brand on the back of the headstock, registered by my great-great-grandfather Jesse Taylor Reid in Gonzales County, Texas, in 1867). It has an integrated koa armrest, koa and abalone trim, Gotoh 510 tuners, and bone & ebony in all the right places. The photos immediately below are of Taylor's J.R. Robison (left) and Joe Bina showing us wood samples (my wife Elise is on the right), and the partially-finished neck and headstock (inlay by Larry Breedlove). Those farther down are of the finished guitar, now being played daily (but not taken to bar gigs).
