Taylor American Dream 22e Acoustic/Electric Guitar; AD22e

The American Dream Series was created at the intersection of solid-wood tone, American craftsmanship, playability and great value. The new Grand Concert AD22e fits the bill, a fresh entry that offers players a more compact feel and a different acoustic flavor compared to the Grand Pacific models in the series. Solid sapele for the back and sides matches up with a mahogany top, generating a bold, punchy midrange with pleasing warmth and a woody sound that suits the guitar’s rootsy vibe. Inside, V-Class bracing dials up the response of this smaller-bodied guitar, adding volume and sustain and drawing out the essential character of the sapele/mahogany tonewood combination. The 24-7/8” scale length provides a relaxed, slinky feel for the fretting hand, while chamfered body edges and the always-comfortable Taylor Neck make the AD22e feel accommodating for all types of players. This noncutaway model is sparingly appointed to maintain its workmanlike aesthetic and accessible price point, with black top purfling, a single-ring rosette, 4mm dot fretboard inlays in Italian acrylic and a thin matte finish that preserves the natural feel of the wood. It ships with built-in ES2 electronics and a brown AeroCase, which provides reliable protection at one-third the weight of a traditional hardshell case
