Taylor American Dream AD12e Grand Concert Acoustic-electric Guitar - Tobacco Sunburst Reviews
The new Taylor AD12e potently pairs an elegant Grand Concert body style with value-packed American Dream features, including solid-wood construction and stage-ready electronics. A solid spruce top ensures a classic, bright but focused Taylor tone. Solid walnut back and sides round out the AD12e with crystalline clarity, similar to rosewood, but with warmer bass and a more present top-end that complements the Grand Concert shape. The AD12e’s smooth body edges and mahogany neck both deliver astounding instantaneous playing comfort that’s long been a player-favorite pick for the stage and studio. If you’re looking for bold acoustic guitar value at a great price, look no further than the Taylor AD12e from Sweetwater!

Beautiful constructed guitar
I thank GOD JESUS! first Taylor and wowww Rich sound and amazing neck. I am Blessed
Amazing Instrument
We played this up against very expensive models from Martin, Takamine, and even other Taylors. It blew them away. Amazing sound. The best acoustic I've ever owned.
Solid Guitar
Over the past couple years, I got a Gibson L00, Gibson J45 and a Martin 00015M. The Martin is a better guitar than both Gibsons. I was definitely not expecting that. Apparently, Gibson does not set up their guitars, and they also don't check on the pick ups. The L00 was probably the most impressive smallish guitar I've ever played, however, the pick up rattled. The 50s faded J 45 sounded spectacular, better than anything I've ever owned, but it was not set up, and it sounded terrible further up the neck. Also, the neck was slower than molasses. I like smaller bodied guitars for the most part. They are just easier for me to write with and easier to record with.
The AD12E has a sitka Spruce top, walnut back and sides, and an itty-bitty waist. I got it because it reminded me of a vintage small body Gibson. And it's everything the Gibsons couldn't deliver. There's nothing spectacular about it but it's the best guitar I have. The tuners are tight. Action is perfect. It's always right when recording or writing. The J45 is called "the workhorse." The AD12E is definitely my workhorse. It's smaller and somehow superior. My best friend borrowed it while we were at the beach. He threw some heavier gauge strings on it. It did not care. My other guitars react to that but this one is a different animal. I totally recommend this guitar.
