Taylor AD24CE American Dream Grand Auditorium Acoustic Guitar, Mahogany/Sapele Taylor

Taylor’s American Dream AD24ce features an iconic Grand Auditorium body shape, built with a smoky neo-tropical mahogany top and layered sapele back and sides sourced from Central and South America, all in a satin finish that showcases the woodgrain and slight burst beautifully. The tonewood selection plays a crucial role in shaping this guitar’s sonic character: neo-tropical mahogany, known for its stiffness, initially produces a bright tone and requires slightly play-in time to open up fully. As the guitar is played more, overtones develop, enhancing the sound with a fuller, richer quality with slightly more punch to it. Taylor’s V-Class body bracing also helps ensure this American Dream AD24ce projects, and helps maintain its structural integrity as well.

The neo-tropical mahogany neck of this American Dream AD24ce features Taylor’s Standard carve, and is toped with a unique 15-inch-radius eucalyptus fingerboard, that undergoes a smoking process to remove moisture and improve stability. A deep Venetian cutaway invites players up to the highest points of its 25.5″ scale.

For players seeking stage-ready performance, This American Dream features onboard Taylor Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics, a segmented pickup positioned behind the bridge saddle that captures the nuances of the guitar’s natural sound. With a master volume knob and a 2-band EQ for treble/bass adjustments, players have control over their amplified tone, and a built-in phase switch further aids in feedback suppression during live performances.
