The American Dream™ Models

American Dream™ AD17

American Dream™ AD17e

Taylor’s first Grand Pacific model to feature ovangkol back and sides combine the tonewood’s rosewood-like properties (plus
a pleasingly full midrange), the GP’s warm, seasoned voice, and the enhanced power, sustain and intonation of their V-Class bracing, making this an incredibly versatile workhorse with expressive musical range. Visually, the Urban Sienna colour treatment adds rich depth to ovangkol’s natural variegation, while understated appointments, including a thin matte finish, emphasize a workmanlike aesthetic.

American Dream™ AD17 Blacktop

American Dream™ AD17e Blacktop

The blacktop American Dream Grand Pacific makes a striking impression — bold and yet understated — with its matte black spruce top and black pickguard. The thin 2-mil finish also helps optimize the robust sonic output of the body, woods and V-Class architecture, delivering a blend of seasoned warmth and clear low-end power that make the Grand Pacific such a versatile workhorse. Anyone looking for a solid-wood Taylor experience with throwback aesthetic character will find themselves drawn to this guitar.

American Dream™ AD27

American Dream™ AD27e

Fans of mahogany-top dreadnought-style guitars will love what this solid-wood American Dream Grand Pacific has to offer as a jack-of-all-trades musical tool. Voiced with V-Class bracing, this GP’s warm, seasoned voice boasts clear, powerful lows and a meaty midrange, with additional focus and evenness across the tonal spectrum from the hardwood mahogany top. Urban Sienna stain and a matte finish support the rootsy aesthetic, while clean appointments support the handsome but
unpretentious vibe.
