Where the Builder's Edition Collection showcases Taylor's focus on playing comfort, the new Gold Label Collection introduces a sound that's unlike anything we've ever made before. Explore our Gold Label guitars and learn how their vintage-inspired, old-heritage sound emerged from the same emphasis on innovation, craftsmanship and rich tone that drives our Builder's Edition lineup.
V-Class Bracing
Our revolutionary new sonic engine powers each Builder’s Edition guitar, reshaping the sound to produce more volume and sustain, with notes that are more in tune from top to bottom.
