Taylor American Dream AD27e Flametop

Taylor AD27e Flametop

• Solid maple back/sides/top for chunky, broken-in tone
• Flamed maple top adds striking visual character
• Nickel bronze strings with unique played-in sound
• V-Class bracing offers balance, power and sustain
• Includes ES2 electronics and durable AeroCase

Just as the Grand Pacific body shape introduced a new kind of seasoned tone to the Taylor line, the AD27e Flametop brings a new sonic flavor with an earthy, broken-in character. This dreadnought-style guitar boasts back, sides and top of solid Big Leaf maple, with our V-Class bracing under the hood. Combined with nickel bronze strings from D’Addario, the maple construction results in an appealingly rustic sound that’s totally distinct from the pristine, vibrant quality that many players associate with Taylor. Visually, the AD27e Flametop offers a rootsy, workmanlike vibe that fits right in with its siblings in the American Dream Series, with maple’s beautiful figuring complemented by a dusky Woodsmoke finish and a satin sheen. It’s available both with and without ES2 electronics and ships in a lightweight, super-sturdy AeroCase.
