The American Dream Series embodies the plucky spirit of innovation that has fueled Taylor for nearly half a century, offering players our lowest-priced entry point to all-solid-wood construction.

Designed to deliver the essentials of a great acoustic — playability, tone and craftsmanship — in an artfully distilled form, the American Dream Series opens the gates to a dynamic family of solid-wood, U.S.-made acoustic guitars. Our newly expanded collection features a diverse range of body styles, wood pairings and aesthetic touches while preserving the minimalist spirit of an approachable workhorse instrument. Body styles include our round-shoulder dreadnought Grand Pacific, small-body Grand Concert, and for the first time, our compact Grand Theater. This year, a trio of walnut/spruce models sport an eye-catching neo-vintage look, boasting a tobacco sunburst top, firestripe pickguard and satin black tuners. Other model options include the all-maple AD27e Flametop, AD17e Blacktop, plus mahogany-top offerings. All feature chamfered body edges for extra playing comfort, thin matte finish for enhanced resonance and an organic feel, and understated appointments that fit the rootsy vibe of the series.
