Taylor AD17 American Dream Grand Pacific Blacktop – ULT975560816321

This blacktop American Dream Grand Pacific makes a striking first impression and backs it up with a serious musical punch. Made with solid ovangkol back and sides topped with spruce, this all-solid-wood guitar represents the resilience of Taylors commitment to meeting the needs of everyday musicians even in historically difficult times. Ovangkols warm, seasoned tone bears hints of rosewoods lush sparkle, with greater presence in the midrange, while the spruce top adds clarity and articulation. Its all punched up by the V-Class bracing under the hood, which optimizes the tonal output for greater volume, longer sustain, and ear-pleasing intonation up and down the neck. Aside from the black finish for the top, a thin 2.0-mil matte layer combines a rootsy look with a responsive voice. Additional details include chamfered body edges, a single-ring rosette, 4mm dot fretboard inlays, and a black pickguard. It ships in a sturdy yet lightweight Taylor AeroCase.
