Taylor® Guitars is excited to introduce three new additions to its popular American Dream Series – the Grand Theater AD11e-SB, Grand Concert AD12e-SB and Grand Pacific AD17e-SB. The new guitars feature a hand-painted tobacco sunburst top, firestripe faux tortoiseshell pickguard and 4mm Italian acrylic dot fretboard inlays for a rootsy, vintage look. The sound is flavored by a combination of a solid Sitka spruce top and solid walnut body, delivering a warm, woody midrange tonal character that’s comparable to mahogany, with unique clarity and sparkle. The guitars are available now in authorized Taylor dealers worldwide.

“We’re excited to expand the American Dream family with these new sunburst guitars,” says Andy Powers, Taylor’s chief guitar designer, President and CEO. “Their look, sound and feel make these models appealing options for many musicians who want a versatile instrument that will visually stand out on stage and record well in the studio.”

The award-winning American Dream Series was first introduced in 2020 during the pandemic. The solid-wood, U.S.-made acoustic guitars were designed to deliver all the essentials of a premium acoustic guitar, with a thoughtfully streamlined appointment package to make the guitars more accessible during a time of economic uncertainty and increased consumer demand. Each American Dream guitar is voiced with Taylor’s tone-enhancing V-Class® bracing system (and new C-Class® bracing for the AD11e-SB). Appointments on the new sunburst American Dream guitars support the rootsy, organic vibe, with black top purfling, a black/maple/black rosette, black satin tuners and a thin matte finish. Chamfered body edges add additional playing comfort alongside Taylor’s ultra-playable necks.

AD11e-SB 

The all-new AD11e-SB features the new Taylor Grand Theater (GT) body shape, which sports a comfortably downsized frame and scale length. Tonally, it’s voiced with C-Class bracing (a variation on V-Class bracing) that enhances the low-end response to give the guitar the tonal depth of a full-size guitar. The new model includes a special 24-1/8” scale length and is strung with light-gauge D’Addario XS coated phosphor bronze strings. Starting at $1,799.

AD12e-SB

The AD12e-SB brings the first spruce-top Grand Concert to the American Dream Series. Powered by V-Class bracing, the clarity, responsiveness and note-to-note definition of the compact body makes the AD12e-SB perfect for fingerstyle guitarists, nimble flatpickers and recording applications. The guitar is strung with light-gauge D’Addario XS coated phosphor bronze strings. Starting at $1,999.

AD17e-SB

The AD17e-SB features Taylor’s Grand Pacific body shape, a round-shoulder dreadnought inspired by classic acoustic guitar recordings. With a 25-½” scale length and medium-gauge D’Addario XS coated phosphor bronze strings, this guitar is a midrange powerhouse that serves up seasoned tone without sacrificing balance or articulation. Starting at $1,999.

The new sunburst American Dream guitars include Taylor’s onboard ES2 electronics and a brown or gray AeroCase for convenient transportation.
