Taylor Builder's Edition 652ce WHB Acoustic Electric Guitar with Hardshell Case - Spruce top

Crafted for the Player Who Demands More

The Taylor Builder's Edition 652ce WHB is a 12-string acoustic-electric that stands apart from the rest of the Taylor line — a guitar shaped by the personal vision of master luthier Andy Powers. Its Wild Honey Burst finish glows with warmth, but it's what's underneath that truly sets this instrument apart.

Tonewoods & Construction

• Top: Torrefied Spruce — a special roasting process adds aged-in sweetness and enhanced resonance from day one
• Back & Sides: Solid Big Leaf Maple — vibrant, transparent tone that emphasizes the unique style of each player
• Bracing: V-Class — more volume, more sustain, and cleaner harmony between notes all the way down the neck
• Setup: Reverse-strung (heavier string on top of each pair) for more midrange heft and warmth
• Body Style: Grand Concert with a beveled cutaway
• Finish: Silent Satin

Builder's Edition Comfort Features

• Armrest for fatigue-free playing sessions
• Rolled edges for a broken-in feel right out of the case
• Beveled cutaway for easy upper-fret access

Andy Powers' Personal Touch

Every detail of the Builder's Edition line reflects Andy Powers' hands-on approach to guitar design. The pairing of torrefied spruce with solid Big Leaf maple is a deliberate tonal choice — transparent and responsive, it gets out of the way and lets your playing voice shine through.
