Taylor American Dream AD17e Grand Pacific Blacktop

What we say:

At A Glance:

The Taylor American Dream AD17e Grand Pacific Blacktop is a solid wood acoustic with a lot to offer. With this series, Taylor wanted to focus on bringing their expertise and craft into the hands of even more guitar players. We're glad they did as once this guitar is in your hands it is very hard to put back down again!

Features We Love:

Grand Pacific Body Size

With rounded shoulders this modern take on the dreadnought size is designed to offer a warm, rich, tone that is uniquely Taylor. Utilising the V-class bracing that Taylor use on many of their great sounding guitars, this model has a foundation of stability and refined tones. Brought together with this new shape, notes have a broader, rounder tone with a powerful low end response that doesn't get muddy. This builds on the already famous dreadnought feel and sound by adding a versatility to its sound that can cover many musical styles and playing styles.

Spruce and Walnut Pairing

Spruce is a favourite for guitar tops and with good reason. Its well-articulated sound character and wide dynamic range lends itself well to many styles. Paired here with walnut back and sides which add a crisp and warm balance, the stunning tonal results can be heard from the first strum.

Expression 2 System

This is widely recognised as one of the greatest acoustic pickup systems available. It translates every ounce of tone, detail, and dynamic from your fingertips, strings, and guitar wood. This gives the audience an accurate and fully realistic translation of your performance.

Who Is It For?

While this is a dreadnought shape, Taylor's Grand Pacific style makes this guitar incredibly versatile. Its stealthy Blacktop look makes it great for those who prefer a timeless appearance with some added class. Home, studio, or on stage, this guitar can handle it all with stability and even flexibility from its pickup system.
