Taylor American Dream AD22E Acoustic-Electric Guitar 1211101042

Regular price $1,999.00 Sale

The Taylor American Dream AD22E Acoustic-Electric Guitar offers the companies least expensive American Made Guitar with all solid woods. With a solid Mahogany top and solid Sapele back and sides, it's hard not to draw comparisons to the much-loved Martin D-15 model. This Acoustic-Electric from Taylor features the tamped-down highs, warmth, and richness of an all tropical hardwood guitar!

The top on the AD22e is made from solid Mahogany. This revered and sought-after tonewood offers up a focused tone, powerful but uniform and articulate. A brilliant choice for the singer looking for an instrument to support their vocals. The back and sides are made from Sapele, a tonewood very much like Mahogany but it is a touch harder on the Janka scale. Tone-wise, it's almost indiscernible from Mahogany so you get a warm, rich-sounding guitar that is a little less bright and voluminous than if it had a spruce top on it.

The neck is made from mahogany and topped with a eucalyptus fingerboard. This relatively new combo for Taylor is fantastic. The neck features 1.75" nut width along with 24.875" scale length for a slightly slinky feel on the strings. This scale length pairs well with the mahogany/sapele construction contributing further to its warmth.

Loaded with Taylor's Expression System 2, this guitar comes prepped to handle whatever it is that you can throw at it. This system sounds marvelous with minimal tweaking. In fact, I have to put in the effort to get it to sound bad! With controls for volume, bass, and treble, the onboard controls are simple. Amps and PA Systems play nicely with the Expression System as well, allowing you to cater the tone to your exact needs. 

From the Taylor Website...
"With the American Dream Series, we’re proud to introduce the lowest-priced solid-wood, US-made guitars with our V-Class bracing and signature playability. These essential, versatile guitars deliver premium performance, while the appointments are streamlined to fit their function. They have everything you need, and nothing you don’t.

The AD22e offers players all the warm, seasoned tone, workmanlike style and exceptional value of the American Dream Series in a compact, accommodating Grand Concert frame. Featuring all-solid-wood construction and our tone-enhancing V-Class bracing, this model’s mahogany top pairs with sapele back and sides for a rich response with a bold midrange character and clear, pristine highs. The Grand Concert’s 24-⅞” scale length makes for a relaxed, slinky feel that will please finger stylists and traditional pickers alike, while the hardwood top helps to even out the attack for a more balanced sound all the way down the neck. Chamfered body edges provide an even more intimate feel, while the ultra-thin matte finish preserves the guitar’s performance-forward aesthetic. Other visual details include 4mm dot fretboard inlays in Italian acrylic, blacktop purfling, a faux-tortoiseshell pickguard, and a single-ring rosette. The non-cutaway AD22e includes our ES2 acoustic pickup and ships with a lightweight, durable AeroCase."
