Taylor Dave Matthews Signature Model Acoustic Electric Guitar with Hardshell Case
The frontman for one of music’s most popular acts, Dave Matthews and his distinctive guitar-centric songs helped fuel a resurgence in acoustic roots rock. Starting in the mid-1990s. Matthews has played Taylor guitars for many years, and his 914ce has long been a staple of his live performances.
Inspired by the 914ce, the DMSM is a rosewood/spruce Grand Auditorium. A custom fretboard inlay blends elements of the popular “Cindy” inlay, which graces Matthews’ 914ce, with a design that pays tribute to the band’s longtime horn player, LeRoi Moore, who passed away in 2008. Based on a sketch that Matthews provided, a crown inlay between the 11th and 12th frets honors Moore, incorporating ball-tipped points with one ball partially missing in memory of Moore.
A nickname of Moore’s within the band, “Grux,” is inlaid vertically between the 13th and 18th frets. The headstock inlay also was developed from a sketch by Matthews. The guitar’s top was shaded with an aged toner to approximate the patina Matthews likes on his older 914ce. Each DMSM comes with a custom guitar label and a certificate of authenticity, both personally signed by Matthews. Includes a hardshell Taylor case.
