This year, we’re excited to roll out an array of new Builder’s Edition guitars designed for ultimate playability and tone by Andy Powers, master guitar designer at Taylor Guitars. Featuring a host of ergonomic comfort touches and V-Class bracing for incredible sustain, volume, and musicality, these guitars represent the pinnacle of Taylor’s design philosophy. They’re the director’s cut version of an acoustic guitar—instruments built to inspire with innovative designs that help the player feel and sound their best.

In the latest episode of the From the Factory Podcast, hosts Jay and Cameron chat with Andy Powers as he takes each of these new Builder’s Edition guitars through their paces, sharing his inspiration for each design.
