Taylor Liberty Tree Guitar

History Of The Taylor Liberty Tree Guitar.

If you had a chance to own a famous
piece of America, something so rare that
you would give anything to own it, what
would it be? Would it be a piece of the
Washington monument? Of course we all
know that's impossible.

How about a piece of the declaration of
independence? You know an actual piece
of the page. Again sadly that's
impossible too. However, there is
something famous and patriotic that you
can own. It's also very rare too.

How about a real piece of the Liberty Tree.
What's the Liberty Tree you ask? Read
on. In Early America, each of the original
13 colonies went to what was known as
the Liberty Tree. This was a meeting
place to rally for freedom during the
revolutionary war era. This tree, a huge
popular-tulip was a four hundred year old,
located in Maryland at Annapolis on St.
John's college grounds. It became known
as the liberty tree.

The tree survived being blown up by a bunch
of college students as a prank, many bug
infestations and major surgery in the early
1900's. To make a long story short, the
Liberty Tree was finally destroyed by
hurricane Floyd in 1999. Unfortunately the
tree could not be saved. What has to do with
anything you ask?

Well now you can own a portion of this tree.
