With Taylor’s V-Class bracing, the Grand Pacific pumps out clear low-end power, making the Grand Pacific’s voice more musical and usable, while remaining as versatile as a Grand Auditorium and as assertive as a traditional dreadnought.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eV-Class Bracing\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Taylor Grand Pacific features Taylor’s innovative new V-Class bracing, which lets the soundboard of the guitar vibrate naturally, increasing sustain and overall cohesiveness, and generating additional volume without sacrificing sustain. This design puts the body more in tune with the strings, improving articulation and harmonic alignment,  resulting in a sound that is optimally warm and seasoned, nicely blended, and full of luscious low end without being muddy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eES2 Electronics\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Taylor Expression System 2 (ES2) delivers the latest technology in Taylor acoustic guitar amplification. The heart of the ES2 system is Taylor’s patented behind-the-saddle pickup, featuring three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors. The new positioning enables the piezo pickup’s crystals to respond more naturally to the guitar’s energy as it is transferred through the saddle, with three pickup sensors installed behind the saddle, through the bridge, with three tiny Allen screws that calibrate the position of the sensors in relation to the saddle. Together with Taylor’s custom-designed preamp, this ES2 system produces exceptional amplified tone and responsiveness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe AD17e comes equipped with ES2 electronics and Taylor's new AeroCase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eV-Class bracing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChamfered body edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnique edge treatment with stained spruce body edge and black top purfling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUrban Sienna stained back\/sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatte finish (2-mil) body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEucalyptus fretboard\/bridge\/ peghead overlay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-ring koa rosette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4mm dot inlays (Italian acrylic\/faux pearl)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFaux tortoise pickguard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eD’Addario strings (coated phosphor bronze medium)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTaylor nickel tuners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eES2 Electronics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTaylor AeroCase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34497041334407,"sku":"AADS034011006731265","price":1293.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/products\/taylor-acoustic-guitars-dreadnought-taylor-american-dream-ad17e-spruce-ovangkol-natural-es2-w-aerocase-aads034011006731265-28432144892039.jpg?v=1650731697","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.com\/en-gb\/products\/taylor-american-dream-ad17e-spruceovangkol-natural-1028790","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
