American Dream Models
Premium Features
Solid Wood
A guitar made with a top, back and sides of solid wood will produce the most tonal complexity and become increasingly richer, more resonant, and more responsive as it ages.
V-Class Bracing
Our revolutionary internal architecture is like a finely engineered sonic engine. Notes are stronger, longer sustaining, and more in tune with each other, producing a more musical sound.
American Made
Our state-of-the-art factory headquarters in California, where our product development team operates, offers the highest levels of manufacturing sophistication and craftsmanship expertise.
Unique Details
Chamfered Edges
Smoothed edges around the body of the guitars translate into a more comfortable feel for your picking arm.
Thin Matte Finish
At .002 inches, our thin finish optimizes the acoustic resonance. Visually, it fits the guitar’s elemental aesthetic.
Simple Appointments
Dot inlays and other distilled detailing reflect our desire to offer players both a great music tool and a great value.
Taylor AeroCase™
The best of both worlds: all the protection of a hardshell case with material construction that’s a fraction of the weight.
V-Class Bracing
Our groundbreaking sonic engine transforms the sound of an acoustic guitar. By putting the top more in tune with the strings, it can produce notes with more power, projection and sustain and more accurate intonation.
The Grand Pacific
Discover how V-Class bracing fueled the design of a new Taylor shape and sound. Inspired by the dreadnoughts used on classic records, we’ve updated that sound to produce a pleasing blend of warmth, power and clarity.

For Taylor fans on a budget who can live without elaborate appointments or more exotic woods, the American Dream series is a no-brainer.
