A feast for the eyes
The AD26e is ready to stun your audience with more than just its sounds, as Taylor's high-class appointments make it hard to ignore! The neo-tropical mahogany's rich hue and firestripe pickguard create an alluring appearance, while the black body binding and eucalyptus fretboard complete it's eye-catching profile.
On top of that, Taylor include a gorgeous shaded edgeburst finish and three-ring rosette to give you the same level of detail you'd expect on their top-end acoustics!
American Dream baritone
A first for Taylor's outstanding American Dream series, the AD26e puts an affordable American-made baritone into your hands - with all the sonic depth and rumbling power that promises! Tuned from B-to-B and equipped with Elixir baritone strings, you can reach deep sonics for a full-bodied character to your music.
Underpinned by Taylor's baritone-style bracing system, the AD26e responds immediately to your playing with a full and throaty sound that's sure to stand apart from standard-tuned acoustics. Whether you're strumming chords or fingerpicking intricate lines, this baritone offers up plenty of tone for expressive performances.
Exceptional volume and power through Grand Symphony body
The AD26e's full-size Grand Symphony body shape marries perfectly its baritone scale, providing a resounding voice that's accentuated with a dry and woody timbre. With its large air cavity, the AD26e can easily fill a room with its acoustic sound, giving you enough volume to carry your sound to an audience in live scenarios.
Solid sapele and neo-tropical mahogany
Completing the AD26e's dark sonic hues is its solid sapele and mahogany tonewoods. Together with the Grand Symphony body shape and baritone scale length, they contribute to a warm voice that's pronounced in the bass and mids. In addition, you can expect a dry output with minimal overtones that is exceptional for recording purposes - and of course, its solid nature means your sound will only get better over time!
Advanced ES2 electronics
The exceptional ES2 electronics system, created by Taylor, brings a whole new level of sound quality to both live performances and recording sessions. This innovative feature, designed to capture more of a guitar's dynamic properties, employs a three-section proprietary pickup located behind the saddle for improved dynamic range. The placement of the sensors enables them to respond organically to the guitar's energy as it is transmitted through the saddle.
The result is amplified sound that is incredibly faithful to the guitar's natural voice. Its sophisticated design and functionality make it particularly beneficial for recording, as it accurately captures the guitar's tonal nuances. For live performances, the ES2's well-balanced output ensures that your guitar's sound will fill the room with exceptional clarity and depth.
