Thanks to this picture by his good friend and professional photographer Rowan Gillson, Dale was named Taylor Guitars’ Player of the Week on their official FaceBook page. Dale grew up just a few short miles from the Taylor Guitars factory in El Cajon, CA. When he was 15 years old his dad bought him his first guitar . . . a Taylor! Dale currently plays a Taylor K14C cutaway which features a Western Red Cedar top and Koa (hawaiian) back and sides. The picture Rowan took was in downtown San Francisco as Dale sat on a stone pillar by a busy intersection.
