Taylor American Dream AD27e Mahogany Natural ES2 w/AeroCase

Taylor American Dream AD27e Mahogany Natural ES2 w/AeroCase
Sporting workmanlike features to appeal to the gigging musician, Taylor’s American Dream AD27e mahogany models offer players a dry, focused, woody sound with pleasing midrange punch when you want to dig in, accompanied by the clear, low-end power pumped from Taylor’s slope-shoulder dreadnought body shape. Plus, Taylor’s ES2 electronics provide ample tonal control and responsiveness.

American Dream Series——Sapele/Mahogany
Made for acoustic players with an earthier, more organic, toned-down aesthetic, Taylor’s American Dream series instruments refines its models down to their essentials, creating guitars that are naturally beautiful, well-made, and most importantly cost less than any other American-made model—sporting simpler, workmanlike features to appeal to the gigging musician. 

Featuring solid sapele back and sides—a harder tonewood, similar to mahogany, but with a higher density tending toward a slightly brighter sound that adds more top-end shimmer—these American Dream series models are paired with a mahogany top, emphasizing the fundamentals to yield a dry, focused, woody sound with pleasing midrange punch when you want to dig in.

Grand Pacific
The Grand Pacific is Taylor’s round-shoulder dreadnought, designed to deliver a different flavor of Taylor tone: a warm, seasoned voice in which notes overlap in a way that recalls traditional acoustic guitar recordings, requiring no studio enhancements. 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.

V-Class Bracing
The 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.

ES2 Electronics
The 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.

The AD27e comes equipped with ES2 electronics and Taylor's new AeroCase.
