Thanks, Greg - very much appreciated. I'm off there right now to start downloading!

Super helpful, Greg.  Thanks!

What's wrong with Taylor's website?

Only "CE" models are shown from the 500 Series down. I tried to find info on the 314, and it's not even shown. I started pokin' around, and couldn't find any other non-CE models, unless it was in the 600 Series and above.

Seems pretty poorly managed. Did Taylor yank these models and not tell anyone?

It seems there is a bit of a desire to have older issues of Wood and Steel available to view on the website . . . perhaps the entire library. It's a delicious treat. And while some info gets stale, insight, specs and great writing never do . . .  and it's fun to survey the aging of Taylor's cast of characters along with our own.

Not that there wouldn't be value in that, but they need to iron out the problems with getting the website to reflect what's actually current first, and then worry about the old stuff.

It seems they are available.

Where are the tech sheets?? What Taylor page can I find them on??

Eg, where would I find Taylor Tech Sheet “Truss Rod Adjustment that is referenced here:
http://www.taylorguitars.com/blog/taylor-support/string-buzz-multiple-strings?

I googled it and eventually found it here:
http://www.taylorguitars.com/global/pdfs/truss_rod_adjustment.pdf

But where are all the others??

What Taylor page can I find them on??

Several times in your Support section you say:

For more information, review Taylor Tech Sheet “Truss Rod Adjustment.”

Yet it's not a hyperlink, and the tech sheet cannot be found.

Example:  String Buzz, Multiple Strings  http://www.taylorguitars.com/blog/taylor-support/string-buzz-multiple-strings

excerpt:

• Truss rod adjustment. Taking all the strings off at once allows the neck to relax. Restringing doesn’t always bring the neck back to exactly where it was. If this is the case, a simple truss rod adjustment will fix it. See our tech sheet on adjusting the truss rod. For more information, review Taylor Tech Sheet “Truss Rod Adjustment.”
• Did you change to a different string gauge or tuning? Either of these can change the amount of tension on the neck, making it backbow and cause buzzing. If this is the case, a simple truss rod adjustment will fix it. For more information, review Taylor Tech Sheet “Truss Rod Adjustment.”

Unless I'm imagining it, it appears you're working on this section right now. It looks different than yesterday. So hopefully you'll address this soon.

Thanks.

Thanks for the heads up. We'll look into it.

Still cannot find this tech sheet as links were never added and the search function does not return the tech sheet. Would be great if a higher degree of technical information be made available on Taylor's site. It would benefit alot of us who setup our own guitars and such.

Thanks

Thank you for that link!!!

You can also use  for now this link (it;s a google search string) and you see about a dozen tech sheets:

https://www.google.ca/#sclient=psy-ab&q=http:%2F%2Fwww.taylorguitars.com%2Fglobal%2Fpdfs&oq=http:%2F%2Fwww.taylorguitars.com%2Fglobal%2Fpdfs&gs_l=serp.3...27302.31227.0.31967.12.12.0.0.0.0.177.1393.1j11.12.0...0.0...1c.1.18.psy-ab.7UTCsOZxQ6g&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_qf.&fp=ba31a0e8fb3e40fd&biw=1413&bih=919

I absolutely do not understand why they refuse to post their own tech sheets on their own web site!!!

[sitedrifter]

Thanks for the link. I just saved all of them to my PC.

You could also go here (Taylor's old website stuff):  http://legacyweb.taylorguitars.com/contact/customerservice/
On the second menus bar you will see "Tech Sheets".  Go there and find the original 20 tech sheets.

Hope this helps.

I see the button for Tech Sheets, but it no longer works (for me anyway). I am on IE10, Windows 7, desktop.
