Coffee & Guitars with Andy Powers: Built for the Way You Play

Sponsored by Taylor Guitars:

In this episode of Coffee & Guitars, master guitar designer Andy Powers shares how every Taylor guitar is designed to feel intuitive and responsive the moment you start playing. In his time at Taylor, Andy has ensured that playability remains central to how we build guitars, from player-focused design to our famed customer service.

At Taylor, every step of our manufacturing process contributes to exceptional playability and comfort. From our slender necks to a range of accommodating body shapes, Taylor Guitars are built to help bring out the best musician in every player. And though every Taylor is fully set up and ready to play from the first note, we know every player is different, so we’ve made sure that our guitars are easy for a tech to dial in the perfect feel for your style.

This episode offers a glimpse into a core Taylor philosophy: that instruments should serve the player. Andy unpacks how intention at every step makes the guitar feel natural, familiar, and responsive the moment you pick it up—because the easier a guitar is to play, the more you’ll grow as a musician.
