One of the lowest-priced all-solid-wood guitars produced in Taylor's California facility, the AD17e Blacktop from the American Dream Series offers players a more accessible entry point to the tonal complexity and sophistication that come with solid-wood construction. Walnut back and sides paired with a spruce top to produce a warm, shimmering midrange with a splash of treble clarity, and you'll hear clear low-end power thanks to the dreadnought-style body and V-Class bracing inside. This model is dressed in a striking blacktop colour treatment for the soundboard, and it ships with Taylor's ES2 acoustic pickup and a lightweight, yet sturdy AeroCase.
