Description
Experience Versatility with Timeless Craftsmanship
The Taylor AD24ce brings the celebrated Grand Auditorium body shape into the revered American Dream Series, delivering a harmonious blend of tonal versatility, ergonomic design, and premium materials. Handcrafted in the USA, this acoustic-electric guitar is ideal for players seeking a warm, balanced tone and professional performance both on and off the stage.
Superior Tonewoods for Rich, Nuanced Sound
The AD24ce features a solid neo-tropical mahogany top paired with solid sapele back and sides, resulting in a mellow, full-bodied tone with rich bass, warm mids, and a subdued high end. This all-solid wood combination provides incredible resonance and a unique harmonic character, making it perfect for singer-songwriters and versatile players alike. The V-Class bracing enhances sustain and intonation, ensuring balanced tonality across the entire fretboard.
Grand Auditorium Body Shape with Venetian Cutaway
The Grand Auditorium body offers the best of both worlds — bold projection for strumming and delicate responsiveness for fingerpicking. Its mid-sized design is comfortable to hold, while the Venetian cutaway ensures easy access to higher frets, giving you the freedom to explore the entire neck with ease.
Fast-Playing Neck and Elegant Fingerboard
The neo-tropical mahogany neck features Taylor’s Standard neck carve, offering a fast and comfortable playing experience. Topped with a 15-inch-radius smoked eucalyptus fingerboard, it delivers a smooth feel with added elegance. The 1.75-inch nut width strikes a perfect balance, accommodating fingerstyle players without compromising the needs of flatpickers and strummers.
Stage-Ready Expression System 2 Electronics
For amplified performances, the AD24ce is equipped with Taylor’s cutting-edge Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics. Its revolutionary pickup design, positioned behind the bridge saddle, captures every nuance of your playing with stunning clarity and authenticity. The onboard controls include a master volume knob, a 2-band EQ, and a phase switch for feedback suppression, giving you precise tonal control in any setting.
Timeless Design and Taylor’s Legacy
The American Dream Series pays homage to Taylor’s rich history of innovation and craftsmanship. Built with working musicians in mind, the AD24ce delivers pro-level performance and unparalleled build quality. Its rustic aesthetic, highlighted by the smoky mahogany top and sapele’s natural grain, reflects Taylor’s commitment to blending elegance with practicality.
