Taylor Guitars AD17e Blacktop Acoustic-Electric Guitar – Used
The Taylor AD17e Blacktop is a modern, American-made acoustic-electric that blends classic dreadnought power with Taylor’s contemporary design and playability. Part of the American Dream series, the AD17e is built for working musicians—lightweight, resonant, and responsive, with a stripped-down aesthetic that focuses on tone and feel rather than excess ornamentation.
The solid spruce top paired with solid ovangkol back and sides delivers a balanced sound with strong low-end presence, clear mids, and articulate highs. Taylor’s V-Class bracing enhances sustain and intonation while allowing the guitar to open up dynamically under both light and aggressive playing styles.
Equipped with Taylor’s ES2 pickup system, the AD17e performs confidently in live and recording settings, offering a natural amplified sound that translates well in a mix.
This used example has been professionally inspected and set up by our in-house technician and plays exactly as it should.
