Taylor AD21e American Dream Grand Theater Acoustic-Electric Guitar Shaded Edge Burst

The Taylor AD21e American Dream Grand Theater acoustic-electric embodies all the creative spirit, innovation, and ingenuity that has allowed Taylor Guitars to redefine the definition of the acoustic guitar. The body features a Grand Theater body shape, known for its unique sound and comfortable feel. At the heart of the tone is a solid mahogany top tuned and supported using a C-Class bracing pattern. Electronics Taylor's ES2 is a revolutionary pickup design that delivers the latest in Taylor��s ongoing innovation in acoustic guitar amplification. The heart of the Expression System 2 is Taylor��s patented behind-the-saddle pickup, which features three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors. Because the pickup doesn't sit under the saddle, the bottom of the saddle comes in full contact with the bridge, allowing all the nuance of the guitar's tone to come through clearly whether playing acoustically or plugged-in. The location of the sensors enables a more dynamic range of acoustic sound to be captured than ever before while playing plugged-in. Together with a custom-designed ��professional audio��-grade preamp, this system produces exceptional amplified tone and responsiveness. On stage through a PA, plugged into your favorite acoustic amplifier or direct into recording software, the Expression System 2 faithfully conveys the voice of your Taylor guitar. Other notable appointments include a solid sapele back and sides, easy-playing mahogany neck, chamfered body edges, Eucalyptus fingerboard/bridge/peghead, a super-thin matte finish and Taylor AeroCase for maximum protection and portability.
