A couple of years ago, Taylor had some problems with the glue they were using and things tended to come apart.Bob Taylor was extremely concerned with this and went though a period of destructive testing. He would pull instruments off the production line in various states of completeness and then destroy them to find their breaking points.

They have subsequently solved a lot of those problems with a change of glue and different construction techniques.

I'm told the videos of this process are quite entertaining.
