Overview
AD17 Blacktop
Crafted to offer solid-wood tone and American-made craftsmanship at an exceptional value for working musicians, the AD17 Blacktop from the Taylor American Dream Series is an all-acoustic, non-cutaway guitar that blends a contemporary feel with a classic sound. Solid walnut back and sides and a spruce top serve up a warm, seasoned tone with a robust midrange and clear low-end power, with V-Class bracing inside to push more power and longer sustain. The AD17 Blacktop also features rounded body edges for a more accommodating feel, plus clean appointments, a stylish black-finished top and an ultra-durable, yet lightweight AeroCase.
The back-to-basics simplicity of the AD17 Blacktop’s appearance may be minimalistic, but its tone is astonishingly upscale and luxurious.
Playability is simply superb, with the neck providing a smooth slinky feel that lives up to the “dream” designation of the series name.
