The Builder’s Edition Collection
Each guitar in the Builder’s Edition family represents the peak of Taylor’s design philosophy: comfortable, inviting guitars with rich, robust tone and stunning aesthetics.
The Builder’s Edition Philosophy
Refined body shapes, innovative interior bracing, and premium tonewoods deliver high-fidelity acoustic tone that performs across genres and playing styles.
With sleek body contours and a host of player-focused features, these guitars offer an optimized feel to inspire and elevate your playing.

Builder’s Edition 652ce

Builder’s Edition 517
One of two models to introduce our Grand Pacific body style, the mahogany/torrefied spruce Builder’s Edition 517 channels the warmth and power of classic mahogany dreadnoughts in a whole new way with the help of V-Class bracing and player-friendly contouring.
Builder’s Edition 717
Inspired by acoustic recordings from decades ago, this rosewood Grand Pacific revitalizes the dreadnought body shape with exceptional tonal clarity, complexity and power. Playing this guitar feels like getting together with an old friend.
V-Class Bracing
