Taylor AD17e American Dream Acoustic Electric Guitar With Case

Named after the guitar shop where Taylor Guitars was founded in 1974, the American Dream™ Series embodies the principles of innovation, craftsmanship and resourcefulness Taylor has always turned to during challenging times.

Facing an unprecedented global crisis, they pushed themselves to design a new guitar series that responds to the current needs and realities of players.

These US-made, solid-wood guitars are distilled into the essential elements of premium Taylor performance — featuring V-Class bracing and their signature playability — with simple appointments so they won’t break the bank.

The AD17e

Taylor's first Grand Pacific model to feature ovangkol back and sides combines 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, Taylor's Urban Sienna color treatment adds rich depth to ovangkol’s natural variegation, while understated appointments, including a thin matte finish, emphasize a workmanlike aesthetic.
