With its versatile Grand Auditorium body shape and cutaway, the AD24ce adds an entirely new dimension of sound to the American Dream Series. Back and sides of solid sapele paired with a mahogany top produce a warm, woody character with a prominent midrange focus, with the hardwood soundboard providing a natural compression effect to smooth out an aggressive attack. With its V-Class bracing inside to dial up louder volume, longer sustain and greater harmony all the way up the neck, the AD24ce offers a supremely balanced sound that's ideal for solo play sessions, recording and live performance. Appointments are earthy and distilled to keep the focus on sound, including a tobacco color treatment and a shaded edgeburst top finish.
Highlights:
- The versatile Grand Auditorium body shape and sapele/mahogany tonewood pairing yield a warm midrange punch that performs across genres and styles.
- Grand Auditorium: Taylor’s signature shape embodies the ultimate all-purpose acoustic.
- Sapele: One of the best all-around tonewoods there is, sapele will deliver for any playing style.
- Expression System 2: The Expression System® 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.
- Venetian Cutaway: The Venetian cutaway is known for its soft, round lines. The sloping peak of the cutaway will vary depending on the shape of the body.
- V-Class Bracing: Our patented V-Class bracing is a revolutionary new pattern — a new sonic engine — that marks a major shift away from traditional steel-string bracing patterns.
