Some wear around the sound hole. Some light wear from normal playing on the top. A small scratch on the headstock.

The Taylor AD17 Blacktop is a U.S.-made, all-solid wood acoustic guitar from Taylor's American Dream Series. It was designed to provide premium American craftsmanship and tone at a more accessible price by simplifying cosmetics while maintaining high-quality construction.

Tone

The AD17 Blacktop has a warm, balanced voice that's different from the bright, sparkling sound many people associate with Taylor guitars.

Because of its spruce top and solid walnut back and sides, it offers:

  • Strong bass response without being boomy
  • Clear, articulate mids
  • Smooth highs
  • Excellent projection thanks to the V-Class bracing
  • A versatile sound suitable for flatpicking, fingerstyle, and strumming

Playability

Like most Taylors, the AD17 Blacktop is known for:

  • Comfortable neck profile
  • Low, easy-playing factory setup
  • Excellent tuning stability
  • Responsive feel across the fretboard

It's a guitar that appeals to both experienced players and those looking to step into a premium U.S.-made acoustic.

Appearance

The "Blacktop" version stands out with:

  • Satin black spruce top
  • Natural walnut back and sides
  • Maple rosette
  • Black pickguard
  • Minimalist styling without ornate binding or inlays

The understated design helps keep the cost down while giving the guitar a modern, distinctive look.
