Our Academy 12e starts with a beautifully contoured Grand Concert body and adds performance-enhancing appointments (including an armrest) that are sure to satisfy everyone from the beginning guitarist to the most seasoned veteran. A solid spruce top paired with layered Sapele sides and back and Taylor ingenuity ensures the Academy 12 is neither short on tone or comfort, and our ES-B electronics expands use to amplified and recording applications alike.
"A guitar for beginners and seasoned players alike, I think it's a great finger picking instrument. With a full scale length but a smaller body, and a beveled armrest you can only find on a builders edition." - Ian, Taylor Guitars Expert at Rudy's Music
