With the American Dream series of US-built acoustic guitars, Bob Taylor and Andy Powers have ushered in a new era of Taylor value and performance. Never has it been this affordable to own an American-made Taylor guitar with class-leading features. The Grand Concert AD22e is a compact acoustic-electric with a balanced tone that’s perfect for tracking. The AD22e is built from solid Taylor tonewoods (mahogany and sapele), each with minor cosmetic imperfections to honor the mature sound and workhorse aesthetic these early guitars are known for. Taylor’s V-Class bracing gives the AD22e impressive sustain and a clean, pure tone that stands up to even the scrutiny of the studio. All in all, the American Dream Taylor AD22e is a professional instrument that comes in at a price that will ensure you’re not afraid to take it on the road. Onboard Taylor ES2 electronics — a hallmark of all top-tier Taylors — make the AD22e a fantastic option for plug-and-play gigging and recording.
