Free Guided Tours
Located just east of downtown San Diego in El Cajon, Taylor Guitars offers a free, guided tour of the Taylor Factory every Monday through Thursday at 1:00 PM (excluding holidays). The Taylor Guitars Factory tour takes guests through the steps of guitar construction. From wood selection to final assembly, guests will experience each process as a guitar evolves from raw wood into a finished instrument. The tour lasts approximately one hour and 30 minutes and departs from our Visitor's Center at 1980 Gillespie Way in El Cajon, California.
TaylorWare Store
Also located in the Visitor's Center is the TaylorWare store. Here you will find everything for the Taylor fan, from apparel to gift items to replacement guitar parts. New items are added all the time, so be sure to stop by often.
