Each year brings fresh opportunities for Taylor Guitars to explore innovative new designs that open new musical paths for guitar players of all styles. The 2020 Taylor Guitars lineup features a handful of brand-new models designed for maximum comfort and playability, introducing exciting new features and sounds to the Taylor family.
It starts with the Builder’s Edition collection, which officially launched in 2020 with a total of nine inspiring models. Headlining the new class is the Builder’s Edition 324ce, crafted with locally sourced Urban Ash—a new tonewood that will become a cornerstone of our efforts to become better stewards of the environment. Also new to the family is the Builder’s Edition 816ce, which reintroduces the Grand Symphony body shape to the world of acoustic guitars with an inventive new soundport cutaway that helps the guitar produce immersive, high-fidelity acoustic sound. The Builder’s Edition 912ce brings the ease and speed of an electric guitar to the premium acoustic world, featuring smooth body contours and a compact Grand Concert frame. Finally, the Builder’s Edition 652ce enters the game as the first 12-string model in the Builder’s Edition collection. All models are built on the foundation of V-Class bracing, which powers Taylor acoustic guitars to produce more volume and sustain than ever before.
We’ve also enhanced other parts of the Taylor line in 2020, with updates to the 200 Series that bring a new set of options to the table. Players on a budget will appreciate the 214ce Plus and 210ce Plus, two new models that create professional-quality acoustic tone with a more accessible price tag and fresh appointments. Meanwhile, the GS Mini family grows to include a rosewood model and a new GS Mini-e Koa Plus, made with layered Hawaiian koa back and sides with a solid koa top.
All told, it’s an exciting lineup for the new year, and we’re proud to continue to offer innovative acoustic designs to inspire new generations of acoustic guitar players.
