Andy Powers was personally asked to take over as the master guitar designer at Taylor Guitars, by Bob Taylor himself - listen to this interview & you'll quickly realize why. A lifelong & professional musician, Andy's background as a craftsman combined with his work ethic... along with his unique musical and life experience made him perhaps the ONLY person qualified to do this

Andy is an incredibly bright guy and shares the interesting origins of his passion… also, behind the scenes development of the "V Class" bracing system which has revolutionized the sound of the acoustic dreadnought guitar

This is a unique bracing system that was 5 years in the making, and noticeably improves the tone, sustain, tuning up and down the neck, balance, volume, voice, projection and dynamics of the guitar sound. It delivers a sound only available in post-production, prior to this... and Andy takes you through the entire process, top to bottom. Loads more, rare opportunity to get intimate with one of the giants of the guitar industry, a MUST listen:
