The AD17e Blacktop comes with Ovangkol back and sides. Ovangkol has the warmth and brilliance of rosewood, but is more prominent in the mids, giving it a warmer sound than rosewood. Together with the sitka spruce top you get silvery highs paired with a lot of thrust in the bass. The V-bracing gives the guitar a longer sustain, improved intonation and more volume. From the Builders Edition guitars, the AD17e Blacktop gets Chamfered Edges, rounded edges for a more comfortable playing feel. The Expression System 2 pickup, developed by Taylor Guitars, ensures a good, reinforced tone.
