Designed to serve everyday players including gigging musicians, our American Dream instruments are the most accessibly priced solid-wood, U.S.-made guitars in our line. Offering premium playability and performance at an exceptional value, these versatile instruments combine reliable workhorse performance with thoughtfully distilled detailing like chamfered body edges for extra picking arm comfort and a super-thin matte finish for optimal acoustic resonance. Choose from two tonewood pairings: walnut topped with spruce or sapele with a hardwood mahogany top. Popular models include the sapele/mahogany Grand Auditorium AD24ce — a great choice for lively strummers; the compact walnut/spruce Grand Concert AD12e-SB, featuring a tobacco sunburst top; and the walnut/spruce, sunburst-top Grand Pacific AD17e-SB, also offered as a Blacktop. Onboard ES2 electronics on all models make them plug-and-play ready for live shows or recording, while the Taylor AeroCase that comes with each guitar packs incredible protective strength into a super-lightweight, ultra-portable form.
