The Taylor Academy 12e-N guitar features a Grand Concert body style from their Academy Series that is great for its affordability, performance, versatility, comfort, and tone. The mission of the Academy series is to provide players with just this, a quality guitar at a low price. The nylon string guitar is great for hitting all of those classical tones that are found in some of the greatest compositions historically. The nylon strings are also very easy on the fingers for players looking for even more comfortable paired with a warm, mellow, crisp and percussive appeal and sound. The lutz spruce top and layered sapele back and sides allow for this to be further achieved, with style and sustainability.
The feature of the beveled edge arm rest also results in more comfort and inspiration from such. In addition, the ES-B system allows for the instrument to be amplified while retaining its special and unique voice and even includes a built in tuner. This guitar is great for anyone looking into a nylon string guitar in any scenario.
This guitar includes a Taylor light weight yet durable gig bag.
