NGD: Taylor AD17
it was actually delivered yesterday, not today. but close enough.
with kids going into college, it was time to "downsize" my guitar. So, out with the Bourgeois DS Country Boy 12-fret, and in with the Taylor AD17. While it doesn't match the Bourgeois, I'm happy. And I got a great deal via reverb. I think it's even be a little louder than the Bourgeois, will take some time getting familiar with the new guitar and getting accustomed to the nuances. and it's my first guitar that isn't spruce/mahogany, so fun getting to know the new personality. This AD17 is from 2021, before Taylor switched to Walnut, so it's sitka / ovankol.

Great guitar!! I'm really impressed with Taylor's American Dream series. They are totally different from the Taylor sound that I'm used to. I currently have two from the AD series and they are getting a bunch of play and most of my gigs.

Thanks, I like the look, and the sounds, of it too!

Honestly, the biggest adjustment for me is the neck. My old Bourgeois sort of had a soft V neck. And the Taylor feels a slightly flatter and wider. (it's definitely slightly wider at 1 3/4, while my Bourgeois was 1 23/64). But I figure in another few days, my hands will adjust and this will be the new normal

Congrats, HF! Hope you make some great music with it
I agree with this. For me, it's cedar-topped Taylors from the 1990s, a GS mini, and now an AD27 (all-mahogany) I just picked up today! Emphasized midrange, but most importantly "round" trebles. It's very different than most other Taylor models I've played recently. I'm enjoying it so far. Hope to review it after have had more time with it. |

That's Ovangkol?
They must stain it...

Something about the combination of dark stained ovankol with the natural top is giving off early 20th century vibes. That's a classy looking guitar.

Yes, indeed. Taylor originally called it "deep Urban Sienna color treatment for the ovangkol back and sides".
