Maybe they will at some point.
I can't imagine that unless sales showed that the newer Andy Powers designs weren't selling well...

That's basic marketing.
It's interesting that Taylor has decided to 'revoice' their guitars, ostensibly to make them MORE like Martin. Very interesting!
Just my opinion....
Except Taylor decided to " revoice" because continuing to tweak the sound has been part of their marketing strategy since they began. To "keep innovating" holds the possibility of selling to return, as well as new customers, and has nothing to do with Martin (except of course possibly in some Martin aficionado's imaginations) Not to mention Martin has also been offering different voicings for a while so one could imagine "ostensibly" to make them MORE like Taylor"
