Born from a passion to provide the ultimate playing experience, the Builder’s Edition collection blends the best of Taylor craftsmanship and player-focused design into an elite family of guitars.

Taylor’s remarkably diverse Builder’s Edition collection embodies our envelope-pushing efforts to advance the playing experience in both feel and sound. Launched in 2018 in tandem with our tone-enhancing V-Class bracing, these guitars showcase ultra-premium craftsmanship with ergonomic features like beveled armrests, contoured cutaways and other nuanced details that bring out the very best in musical expression. Our collection has grown to more than a dozen models, each designed by master builder Andy Powers to offer a uniquely inspiring musical personality in look, feel and sound. The latest addition to the family is the spectacular Builder’s Edition 914ce, featuring back and sides of Honduran rosewood and a top of sinker redwood.
