An all-wood Grand Pacific acoustic with a sapele and mahogany pairing.
Facing an unprecedented global crisis, Taylor turned to what they know best: designing and building guitars. It was during this crisis that Andy Powers and Bob Taylor decided to push themselves to create a new series of U.S.-made, solid-wood guitars that are distilled into the essential elements of premium musical performance, and deliver these instruments at an ultra affordable price. The AD27 features Taylor's innovative Grand Pacific body shape, V-Class bracing, all solid-wood construction, chamfered body edges, eucalyptus fingerboard/bridge/peghead, a super thin matte finish and single-ring wood rosette. The AD27 ships in Taylor's AeroCase for maximum protection and portability.
Body Shape
The Grand Pacific brings a new flavor of sound to the Taylor line: warm and seasoned, with broad, round overlapping notes that blend into each other to create a unified harmony. It’s a departure from the focused, precise, clear and vibrant sound of Taylor's Grand Auditorium shape, which helped define what players have come to recognize as "the Taylor Sound." The Grand Pacific shape eliminates problematic low-end woofiness and muddiness (perceived as a "puff of air") often associated with dreadnought-style guitars. This has been accomplished while retaining the usable, musical, warm power of bass response. The Grand Pacific is especially microphone-friendly and suits flat-pickers, strummers and fingerstyle players alike.
Tonewood Pairing
Pairing sapele with the mahogany top gives you that natural roll-in effect associated with a mahogany top, plus, a little bump in treble shimmer to produce a sound that is consistent across the entire musical spectrum. Tropical mahogany is known for a meaty midrange featuring a strong fundamental without adding a lot of ringing overtones. It responds well to players with a strong attack who like dry, earthy, lo-fi sounds. It has a natural compression that smooths out strumming and picking technique. Mahogany's clear and direct tonal character makes it a great option for playing and standing out among other instruments. Tonally, Sapele has a similar fundamental focus to mahogany, but with slightly more treble sparkle.
V-Class Bracing
Taylor's V-Class bracing is a "sonic engine" that optimizes the response of an acoustic guitar in three key ways: by boosting volume, sustain, and by largely resolving the intonation issues that have long plagued acoustic guitars. V-Class bracing creates purer, more orderly notes that don't cancel each other out or sound "off." They have clearer, more consistent response, and the whole fretboard is brought into greater sonic alignment for a more musical playing and listening experience. Guitars with V-Class bracing are easier to tune; the pitch sounds purer and more solid, and electronic tuners can more easily locate notes for quick, precise tuning. Other benefits: harmonics ring more uniformly down the neck, notes are louder with more projection and sustain, and notes are more consistent, i.e., upper register notes don't get choked out or swallowed. Fewer "sour" sonic qualities exist with chords; a more agreeable relationship is created between notes as they ripen, bloom and decay.
