The ultimate playing experience: Andy Powers on Taylor's Builder's Edition guitars
Featuring premium tonewoods and comfort-enhancing design touches, the new collection is a "limitless expression of our instrument-building imagination," Powers says
Created at the intersection of world-class craftsmanship and player-focused design, the Builder's Edition collection from Taylor Guitars offers a wide range of acoustic flavors for guitarists of all styles.
With nine guitars boasting premium tonewoods and an array of comfort-enhancing design touches, the collection also features V-Class bracing, a revolutionary interior architecture developed by master guitar designer Andy Powers that delivers more volume, longer sustain and a more in-tune sound all the way down the fretboard.
For a glimpse into Powers' motivation in creating the Builder's Edition collection, check out the video above.
From the all-Hawaiian-koa Builder's Edition K24ce to the maple/spruce Builder's Edition 614ce, these guitars are made with Taylor's finest tonewoods in both sound and appearance.
The collection also includes the Builder's Edition 816ce, which sports a soundport cutaway that helps generate an immersive, high-fidelity rosewood musical character, as well as a 12-string model in the comfortable, lush-sounding Builder's Edition 652ce.
Whatever your style of play or preference of tone, Taylor's Builder's Edition collection serves up a truly elevated acoustic playing experience.
"The Builder's Edition collection is meant to be a limitless expression of our instrument-building imagination," Powers says.
