AD27e Flametop
6-String | Big Leaf Maple Top | Maple Back and Sides | Hard Rock Maple Neck | Eucalyptus Fretboard | Expression System® 2 Electronics | Non-cutaway | AeroCase
Just as the Grand Pacific body shape introduced a new kind of seasoned tone to the Taylor line, the AD27e Flametop brings a new sonic flavor with an earthy, broken-in character. This dreadnought-style guitar boasts back, sides and top of solid Big Leaf maple, with Taylor's V-Class bracing under the hood. Combined with nickel bronze strings from D'Addario, the maple construction results in an appealingly rustic sound that's totally distinct from the pristine, vibrant quality that many players associate with Taylor. Visually, the AD27e Flametop offers a rootsy, workmanlike vibe that fits right in with its siblings in the American Dream Series, with maple's beautiful figuring complemented by a dusky Woodsmoke finish and a satin sheen. It's available both with and without ES2 electronics and ships in a lightweight, super-sturdy AeroCase.
Grand Pacific
This round-shoulder dreadnought delivers a new flavor of warm, rich Taylor tone.
Maple
Revoiced to produce greater warmth, complexity, volume, sustain and responsiveness
Big Leaf Maple
Though mostly known as a body wood, maple offers a dry, midrange-centric tone profile when used as a soundboard.
Expression System® 2
The Expression System® 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.
V-Class Bracing
Taylor's patented V-Class bracing is a revolutionary new pattern — a new sonic engine — that marks a major shift away from traditional steel-string bracing patterns.
The American Dream® Series Guitars
Solid Woods. Great Value. Designed at the intersection of craftsmanship, rich acoustic tone and value for everyday musicians, the American Dream Series is Taylor's gateway to the solid-wood, U.S.-made acoustic guitar experience. These models boast all the projection, sustain and tonal depth a player would expect from a Taylor, presented in a thoughtfully distilled form that makes premium craftsmanship accessible to more players. Choose from the warm, seasoned sound of the Grand Pacific dreadnought, the compact and articulate Grand Concert — both voiced with Taylor's tone-enhancing V-Class bracing — or the scaled-down GT, featuring C-Class bracing for extra low-end power. All models featured chamfered body edges to level up the playing comfort, along with slender, easy-playing Taylor necks. With clean, modest appointments to preserve their rootsy look, Taylor's American Dream guitars deliver neo-vintage inspiration for players of all styles.
