The American Dream® Series Guitars
Starting at $1,799 USD
The American Dream Series is Taylor's gateway to the world of solid-wood, U.S.-made acoustic guitars. These models boast all the projection, sustain and tonal depth a player would expect from a Taylor, thoughtfully distilled to the essentials of a satisfying playing experience. Choose from the warm, seasoned sound of the Grand Pacific dreadnought, the compact and articulate Grand Concert — both voiced with our tone-enhancing V-Class bracing — or the scaled-down GT, featuring C-Class bracing for extra low-end power. All models feature chamfered body edges to level up the playing comfort, along with slender, easy-playing Taylor necks. With their clean, throwback aesthetics, American Dream Series guitars deliver neo-vintage inspiration for players of all styles.
Solid tonewoods, tone-enhancing bracing and comfort-focused designs deliver all the ingredients for musical inspiration.

FEATURES
High-Level Craftsmanship for Everyday Players.
Between several body shape options, innovative bracing designs and built-in electronics, you’ll find everything you need no matter which model you choose.
Solid Tonewoods for the Richest, Clearest Sound
Our most affordable family of solid-wood guitars, the American Dream Series offers a choice of warm, woody walnut with spruce, punchy and focused sapele with mahogany, and an all-maple Flametop.
Innovation Inside, Comfort Outside
Every model in the American Dream Series is built with tone-enhancing V- or C-Class bracing, which voices the guitar in a way that produces unmatched clarity, volume and sustain. On the outside, these guitars feature chamfered edges for a smoother, more accommodating feel.
Expression System 2 Acoustic Pickup
All models in the American Dream Series are available with ES2 electronics, the proprietary under-saddle pickup and preamp that delivers authentic acoustic tone when you plug in through an amp or PA. Select models are available without electronics.
Simple Details for a Neo-Traditional Aesthetic
The American Dream Series is appointed with subtle details that evoke an old-school sensibility, including 4mm dot fretboard inlays, faux tortoiseshell pickguards (except Blacktop models), a thin matte finish for an extra lively response, and a Tobacco Sunburst top finish for models ending in “SB.”
Blacktop Finish Makes a Bold Statement
Sporting a striking matte black finish treatment for the spruce top, the AD17 Blacktop is a Grand Pacific dreadnought that blends its traditional footprint with a contemporary visual flair.
AeroCase Included with Every Guitar
Every guitar in the American Dream Series comes with a super-durable AeroCase, a soft-sided case that offers all the protection of a traditional hardshell case at one-third the weight.
