Taylor The American Dream Series AD27e Flametop Electro Acoustic Guitar with Aerocase Overview:

Just as the Grand Pacific body shape introduced a new kind of seasoned tone to the Taylor line the AD27e Flametop brings a new sonic flavor with an earthy broken-in character. This dreadnought-style guitar boasts back sides and top of solid Big Leaf maple with our V-Class bracing under the hood. Combined with nickel bronze strings from D’Addario the maple construction results in an appealingly rustic sound that’s totally distinct from the pristine vibrant quality that many players associate with Taylor. Visually the AD27e Flametop offers a rootsy workmanlike vibe that fits right in with its siblings in the American Dream Series with maple’s beautiful figuring complemented by a dusky Woodsmoke finish and a satin sheen.

Features

• Solid maple back/sides/top for chunky broken-in tone
• Flamed maple top adds striking visual character
• Nickel bronze strings with unique played-in sound
• V-Class bracing offers balance power and sustain
• Includes ES2 electronics

Grand Pacific

This round-shoulder dreadnought delivers a new flavor of warm rich Taylor tone.

Maple

Revoiced to produce greater warmth complexity volume sustain and responsiveness

Big Leaf Maple

Though mostly known as a body wood maple offers a dry midrange-centric tone profile when used as a soundboard.

Expression System 2

The Expression System 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.

V-Class Bracing

Our patented V-Class bracing is a revolutionary new pattern — a new sonic engine — that marks a major shift away from traditional steel-string bracing patterns.
