The Builder's Edition Philosophy
Each guitar in the Builder's Edition family represents the pinnacle of Taylor's design philosophy: comfortable and inviting guitars with rich, robust tone and stunning aesthetics.
Designed for the ultimate playing experience
"With our most refined craftsmanship, the Builder's Edition family marks a new level of comfort, playability, and acoustic guitar tone."TONE, refined musicality
Builder's Edition guitars are designed to deliver exceptional sound quality. Subtle body shape modifications, enhanced internal bracing for improved tone, premium tonewoods, and other harmonization adjustments create complex and sophisticated sonic profiles that transcend genre boundaries, playing styles, and musical applications.
FEEL, unmatched playability
The sound of a guitar can only be as good as the feel it provides to the player. Through innovative design elements such as beveled armrests, modified cutaways, chamfered edges, and subtly altered neck profiles, Builder's Edition guitars strengthen the connection between musician and instrument.
V-Class Bracing
Our revolutionary new sound engine equips every Builder's Edition guitar, reshaping the tone to produce more volume and sustain, with better note intonation across the entire soundboard.
Taylor Builder's Edition 652ce Acoustic Guitar
An easy-to-play, easy-to-hold, tuned, and versatile 12-string designed for the 21st-century player, ready for stage and studio. With a silent satin finish that nearly eliminates all incidental contact noise with the body, the Builder's Edition 652ce in burst shaded edge finish adopts the smaller Grand Concert (GC) body shape, making it very comfortable to hold. Taylor's GC models have inherent strength in their construction, which works well on a 12-string instrument, contributing to a confident voice and punchy sound that, combined with V-Class bracing, projects and sustains as much volume and sustain as possible.
With V-Class bracing, sound waves bloom more naturally and consistently, offering great note separationfurther aided by the double-mounted string anchor system that reduces conflicts between string pairs while facilitating excellent intonation along the neck. On the Builder's Edition 652ce, the torrefied Sitka spruce top is paired with solid maple back for a clear, precise sound that is sensitive to delicate touches but surprises with its power. Infinitely playable, the short 24 3/4" scale length with a 12-fret neck ensures a flexible and responsive feel in the hands, with a pleasant midrange emphasis that contributes to clarity.
As with all Builder's Edition models, ultimate player comfort is ensuredwith a double-contour cutaway for easy access to the highest frets, a beveled armrest for smooth arm movement, chamfered body and fretboard edges, Gotoh 21:1 high gear ratio tuners for precise tuning, and a smooth Curve Wing bridge that creates space for the hand. Scepter and mother-of-pearl inlays on the body add refined aesthetics, and the Builder's Edition 652ce comes preloaded with natural and expressive ES2 electronics, delivered in a Taylor deluxe case.
