Liam Lawson Partners with Taylor Guitars for Limited-Edition Acoustic
Racing Bulls Formula 1 driver Liam Lawson has expanded his creative pursuits off the track by unveiling a signature guitar created in collaboration with renowned manufacturer Taylor Guitars. The announcement arrives ahead of a headline musical performance the New Zealand driver will stage in Texas, providing fans with a glimpse into his lifelong passion for music.
The exclusive instrument, named the LL30 GS Mini Special Edition, draws direct visual cues from Lawson’s racing identity. The bespoke acoustic guitar sports a distinctive pink-to-white ombré finish. Integrated into the build is his official racing number, 30, featured prominently on the pickguard. Looking inside the guitar’s soundhole, fans can see a cartoon graphic taken directly from Lawson’s F1 helmet design.
Lawson announced the release via social media to share his enthusiasm for the project. “My very own Taylor Guitar feels crazy to say,”
Lawson posted on Instagram. “Been working on this one for a very long time, so stoked to see it come to life. The LL30 GS Mini is everything I’d want in my own guitar and shows a bit of my personality on and off the track. I dig it, and I hope you do too.”

Live Performance Set Ahead of the United States Grand Prix
The unveiling coincides directly with a full live music showcase scheduled for Thursday, October 22 at Inn Cahoots in Austin, Texas. Setting the stage for the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix weekend, the concert will see Lawson reunite on stage with his childhood bandmates, including his brother and two close personal friends. Lawson will not be the only act on the stage; the event’s lineup also features country singer-songwriters Jonny Capeci and Scoot Teasley, as well as Jess Farren, Alison Nichols, and Drake Milligan.
Public reception across social media was immediate following Lawson’s reveal, with the driver’s announcement post drawing more than 82,000 likes. Fans praised the personal aesthetic of the design, with one commenter writing, “It looks so good and the pink is very you!!!”
Another user shared similar sentiments, noting, “This guitar is amazing, and it’s very you!”
while an additional fan responded: “Can’t wait to see you give it a one, two, skiddily do.”
Why This Matters
The partnership highlights a modern trend of Formula 1 drivers developing distinctive individual brands outside of the motorsport paddock. According to the official Taylor Guitars website, the LL30 GS Mini Special Edition will hit the market in the United States later this year, though only a strictly limited production run will be manufactured.
Following the music event at Inn Cahoots, Lawson will pivot back to his primary focus in the cockpit. The United States Grand Prix is scheduled to run at the Circuit of the Americas from October 23 to October 25, marking an intense weekend of racing for the Racing Bulls driver.
