Other facts include, Martin helped Taylor get started and Taylor helped Breedlove get going.

Interesting, what do you think their strategy is? In order for Fender to get profits from both without cannibalizing their sales they have to differentiate the guitars quite a bit. Hence, I think Guild will not try to cut into the Taylor niche or vice versa.
Thoughts?
