Taylor AD22e American Dream Grand Concert Acoustic Electric with Case

Solid Mahogany Top and Sapele Body
The Taylor AD22e American Dream features an all-solid construction designed to deliver years of playing enjoyment. The African mahogany top responds especially well to players with a strong attack and delivers an earthy, dry tone. The back and sides of this Taylor acoustic are made of sapele, selected for its handsome appearance and robust sound.

Plug In and Share the Dream
The ES2 behind-the-saddle pickup delivers an authentic acoustic tone when hooked up to an amplifier. Its location on the guitar provides outstanding detail to your playing, making this acoustic-electric ideal for fingerpicking. Whether through a PA or hooked up to recording software, the Expression System 2 faithfully conveys the voice of your Taylor.

Comfortable, Compact Body Shape
Perfect for players who prefer smaller-sized guitars, the American Dream acoustic features a Grand Concert body, which is slightly smaller than a Grand Auditorium. Its intimate size makes it comfortably suitable for the couch or your lap, while a 24.875" scale allows for easy fretting.

Braced for Volume and Tonal Impact
The Taylor AD22e features revolutionary V-Class bracing which provides a more dynamic playing and listening experience. A step beyond traditional X-bracing, this design optimizes the response of your guitar by improving both volume and sustain. It also makes the guitar easier to tune, which means you can play better longer.

The Taylor AD22e American Dream offers a sound that hits a certain spot, just like hot dogs and apple pie. There’s an acoustic tone that reminds you of traditional folk songs, classic country hits and Americana standards that never seem to get old. This Grand Concert acoustic-electric also features a tropical mahogany neck, a eucalyptus fingerboard and an onboard phase switch. A protective Aero case is included.

The AD22e offers players all the warm, seasoned tone, workmanlike style and exceptional value of the American Dream Series in a compact, accommodating Grand Concert frame. Featuring all-solid-wood construction and our tone-enhancing V-Class bracing, this model’s mahogany top pairs with sapele back and sides for a rich response with a bold midrange character and clear, pristine highs. The Grand Concert’s 24-⅞” scale length makes for a relaxed, slinky feel that will please fingerstylists and traditional pickers alike, while the hardwood top helps to even out the attack for a more balanced sound all the way down the neck. Chamfered body edges provide an even more intimate feel, while the ultra-thin matte finish preserves the guitar’s performance-forward aesthetic. Other visual details include 4mm dot fretboard inlays in Italian acrylic, black top purfling, a faux-tortoiseshell pickguard and a single-ring rosette. The non-cutaway AD22e includes our ES2 acoustic pickup and ships with a lightweight, durable AeroCase.
