6-string Acoustic-electric Guitar with Mahogany Top, Sapele Back and Sides, Mahogany Neck, Eucalyptus Fingerboard, and ES2 Electronics – Natural
A New Chapter in Taylor Value and Performance
With the American Dream series of US-built acoustic guitars, Bob Taylor and Andy Powers have opened a new chapter in Taylor value and performance. Never before has it been this affordable to own an American-made Taylor guitar with class-leading features. The Grand Pacific AD27e slope-shoulder dreadnought is solid Taylor tonewoods (mahogany and sapele), each with minor cosmetic imperfections to honor the mature sound and workhorse aesthetic these early guitars are known for. Taylor's V-Class Bracing gives the AD27e impressive sustain and a clean, pure tone that stands up to even the scrutiny of the studio. All in all, the American Dream Taylor AD27e is a professional instrument that comes in at a price that will ensure you're not afraid to take it on the road. Onboard Taylor ES2 electronics — a hallmark of all top-tier Taylors — make the AD27e a fantastic option for plug-and-play gigging and recording.
Mahogany/sapele construction
The Taylor American Dream AD27e features a solid mahogany top on back and sides of dark, figured solid sapele. Taylor's Central and South America–sourced tropical mahogany is hailed for its dark color, deep bass, and thick, chewy midrange. It's perfect for players who prefer a mellower top end (compared to spruce) and a more rustic-looking instrument. The sapele back and sides supply more than just a coordinating look, but a unique harmonic stack as well for a unique voice and robust projection. Paired with its easy-playing mahogany neck, the AD27e is a recipe for rich tone and unmistakable Taylor playability.
