There’s something so compelling about Taylor’s Academy series of guitars. Whether it’s the subtleties like the comfortable and ergonomic armrest or its the obvious tonal power of their solid Spruce tops-these guitars really have a special sound and feel.
This model is in the Dreadnought Body shape and is without electronics. The Academy 10 is amongst the most affordable of Taylor’s full sized acoustics. While this instrument was designed with the student player in mind it is still a great choice for more skilled, adept players. The simplicity of a Solid Sitka Spruce top, Layered Sapele back and sides, and a specifically designed bracing give this guitar a focused and responsive sound. The A10 is a great choice for players looking to get a full sized Taylor at a more accessible price point.
