And they currently have more than 320 employees, too. The dust jacket from Bob Taylor's "Guitar Lessons" book (released earlier this year) says Taylor has over 500 employees. That's split between El Cajon and Tecate, but I don't know how.

Yes - I got all my data from CapitalIQ. My guess is that CapitalIQ's information has not been updated in a while.
