Our Builder’s Edition collection presents a remarkably diverse array of models, yet all embody the singular design philosophy of master builder Andy Powers: to offer the best possible playing experience in both feel and sound. Originally launched to celebrate the debut of our tone-enhancing V-Class bracing architecture in 2018, the family has since grown to nine models (plus several sunburst-top variations) ranging from a fantastic 12-string Grand Concert to a pair of premium Grand Pacific siblings to the first Grand Symphony to feature our innovative soundport cutaway. Each model showcases next-level Taylor design and craftsmanship. Playing comfort is elevated on some models with premium features like a beveled cutaway and armrest, and on others with a compound-carve neck profile. Sonically, each instrument offers a uniquely vivid musical personality to explore.
