item# L97210006001001
The Taylor AD17 American Dream Grand Pacific embodies all the creative spirit, innovation, and ingenuity that has allowed Taylor Guitars to redefine the definition of the acoustic guitar. The Grand Pacific brings a warm and seasoned flavor of sound, with broad, round overlapping notes that blend into each other to create a unified harmony. It’s a departure from the focused, precise, clear and vibrant sound of Taylor's Grand Auditorium shape, which helped define what players have come to recognize as “the Taylor Sound.” An important attribute of the Grand Pacific shape is the elimination of problematic low-end woofiness and muddiness (perceived as a "puff of air") often associated with dreadnought-style guitars. This has been accomplished while retaining the usable, musical, warm power of bass response. Because of this the Grand Pacific is especially microphone-friendly and suits flat-pickers, strummers and fingerstyle players alike.
The AD17 features a solid spruce top to provide a broad dynamic range with crisp articulation, and a walnut body which delivers a bright tone, tight low-end and dynamic sustain. Pairing spruce with the walnut gives you a tone that is crisp and articulate, yet balanced and responsive to a wide variety of playing techniques and styles. Meanwhile, V-Class bracing creates purer, more orderly notes that don't cancel each other out or sound "off". They have clearer, more consistent response, and the whole fretboard is brought into greater sonic alignment for a more musical playing/listening experience. Guitars with V-Class bracing are easier to tune, the pitch sounds purer and more solid and electronic tuners can more easily locate notes for quick, precise tuning.
