The YouTube link above discusses the Rivera amp that has the balanced input. It is also useful in the recording studio and stage setups where rack-mounted effects are used.

Taylor wasn't the first to do the balanced output thing on a guitar. Les Paul wired his stage guitar for balanced output, and Gibson released three models in the late 60's early 70's that offered the same -- The Les Paul Personal, Les Paul Professional and Les Paul recording.
