Taylor Guitars unveils trailer for ‘The Ebony Project’ documentary
The six-minute video offers a preview of a full-length documentary that charts the company’s efforts to build a better ecosystem in Cameroon.
Taylor Guitars has officially released the trailer for The Ebony Project, a documentary centered around the company’s efforts to create a sustainable source of tonewoods.
It’s a lofty goal: ebony for the future and welfare for all involved. But Taylor has already taken steps towards its ambitious vision. In 2011, co-founder Bob Taylor led the company to purchase a stake in an ebony mill in Cameroon. Since then, Taylor Guitars has worked towards improving harvesting practices, transforming milling operations, and creating a better system for all.
From the flora and fauna of the Congo Basin to the local communities whose livelihoods depend on the timber trade, The Ebony Project is a reminder of the symbiotic relationship between axe lovers, nature and all the folks in-between.
While the documentary doesn’t have an official release date yet, Taylor will be publishing more stories from the project on its website, beginning April 22—or Earth Day.
